The Washington Nationals were awarded the No. 1 pick in Major League Baseball's 2025 amateur draft on Tuesday after winning the league's third Draft Lottery at the Winter Meetings in Dallas. The team holds the No.

The Ping-Pong balls didn’t bounce the Rockies’ way on Tuesday. Although the Rockies and the Miami Marlins had the best chance of winning Major League Baseball’s Draft Lottery, the baseball gods smiled on neither team.

The Angels had the fourth-worst record in the majors in 2024, so they had about an 18% chance to get the No. 1 pick. No. 2 will be the highest they’ve picked since 1995.
