Nationals face growing pressure as MLB insiders split over future stars or fast fixes with top draft pick: Report
Nationals face growing pressure as MLB insiders split over future stars or fast fixes with top draft pick: Report (Image Source: Getty Images) The Washington Nationals won the 2025 MLB Draft Lottery. They will now pick first in July. But this year, there is no clear star at the top. It will not be an easy choice. MLB expert Jim Callis thinks it's a race between three names. Each player is talented, but also has question marks. The Nationals will need to choose carefully. Let's look at the three top options being considered for the No. 1 pick. SS Ethan Holliday has a big bat and a big name Ethan Holliday is a well-known name. His brother, Jackson Holliday, is already in the MLB. Ethan Holliday has strong power and a smooth left-handed swing. Scouts like his size and hitting ability. But there are concerns, too. His plate discipline is not strong. He swings at pitches outside the zone. Also, his bat-to-ball skills still need work. On defence, he may not stay at shortstop. He is not as athletic as his brother. Still, his bat is powerful, and he has room for development. Future big-time hitter he might become if he keeps growing. Left-handed LSU pitcher Kade Anderson. He had a strong year and gained attention fast. His numbers are very good. In 15 starts, he had a 3.54 ERA. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo He also struck out 145 batters in 89 innings, with just 24 walks. Kade Anderson's fastball is in the low to mid-90s. It has a rising effect that makes it hard to hit. He also throws a nasty curveball. He may not have top speed, but he controls the game well. Scouts compare him to MacKenzie Gore. The Nationals may see him as a safe and smart pick.

He is an 18-year-old right-handed pitcher. He is 6 feet 4 inches tall and throws very hard. His fastball hits the high 90s and even reaches 100 mph. But teams often avoid high school pitchers early. They carry more risk. Seth Hernandez still needs to build strength. He also needs to improve control. But his raw talent is rare. Some scouts think he has the highest upside in the draft. The Nationals must choose between power (Holliday), polish (Kade Anderson), and potential (Seth Hernandez). All three players are exciting. But none is a sure thing. Washington's choice in July will shape its future. The clock is ticking.
