Less than a year later, several first-round picks from the 2024 MLB Draft have already proven themselves to be capable Major League players.
Nick Kurtz — picked No. 4 overall by the Athletics — has showcased his elite all-fields power. Cam Smith, the No. 14 overall pick by the Cubs, is emerging as a high-impact bat for the Astros. Another top-10 pick, Jac Caglianone, is finding his power stroke for the Royals.
All 30 teams will vie for the latest batch of high-impact prospects at the 2025 MLB Draft, a two-day event that begins with Rounds 1-3 on Sunday, July 13. It’s a change of pace from recent years, when the draft was split among three days.
This year’s draft includes a glut of elite young talent, ranging from flame-throwing hurlers like Tennessee’s Liam Doyle and LSU’s Kade Anderson, to high school phenoms like Ethan Holliday and Seth Hernandez.
Here’s everything that you need to know about watching the 2025 MLB Draft, including TV and live stream information for the two-day event.
