Breaking Down Our 2025 Draft Update & A 1-1 Discussion

Baseball America

Carlos and Peter hop on the draft podcast to break down this week’s top 100 update for the 2025 draft class. What’s the sense of the class at this point in the calendar?

The two talk about the strength of the college outfield group, Peter gives a few picks to click on the board and they briefly touch on the shortstop capital of the college class before turning to the 1-1 debate. What is the gap between Jace LaViolette and Ethan Holliday for the top spot in the class? And who are the other players who could be vying for that spot on draft day?
