MLB Draft 2025 Shockers: Nationals and Angels Upend Expectations While Orioles’ Blockbuster Haul Stuns Fans

SS Dax Kilby, No. 39 to the New York Yankees
Kilby was the last cut from my Top 50; I opted for Ryan Mitchell (pick No. 55 to St. Louis) over Kilby as the last prep bat on the list. But Kilby was a standout at the Combine, particularly in the strength and conditioning assessments in which his athleticism shined. He clearly boasts more upside than Mitchell. The hit tool is a touch less certain, but his upside was well worth targeting for the Yankees.
RHP Chase Shores, No. 47 to the Los Angeles Angels
Shores is a gigantic right-hander who routinely touched triple-digits for national champion LSU this season, including on several occasions in the College World Series. He has proven very little as a starting pitcher but could be an impact reliever sooner rather than later — and I don’t think it’ll take long before the Angels give him a chance to become that in the big leagues.
