The Washington Nationals concluded their 2025 MLB Draft, receiving favorable feedback throughout the league. Eli Willits, selected first overall, showcases significant potential with multiple above-average skills. Ethan Petry, selected second, shows great promise as a first base/OF prospect with impressive power statistics. Landon Harmon, a third-round pick, adds depth to pitching prospects, creating anticipation for the team's future direction and restructuring under interim GM Mike DeBartolo. A total of 20 draft picks were made, all aiming for a chance to join the Nationals roster.
Eli Willits was an awesome pick to kick off the chaos of the 2025 MLB Draft. He already possesses 4 above-average tools at just 17-years-old, and should have the opportunity to gain at least average power by the time he gets to the big leagues. I wrote yesterday about how accurate his comparison to Francisco Lindor as a prospect could be.
Ethan Petry could legitimately be the Nationals' version of Pete Alonso if his development goes according to plan. He has a ton of pop, and put up great numbers with wood bats in the Cape Cod League last summer, so his pop is very real.
Landon Harmon was the last pick I wrote about yesterday, but there is a ton to like about the young righty.
