MLB Draft 2025 Shockers: Nationals and Angels Upend Expectations While Orioles’ Blockbuster Haul Stuns Fans
Washington seemingly put those savings to good use with its next two picks, taking South Carolina slugger Ethan Petry at pick No. 49 and Mississippi high school righty Landon Harmon (who was strongly in the mix to make my top 50) at No. 80. On the whole, this draft — the Willits decision in particular — could come to define the next era of Nationals baseball.
Then, just as the industry was processing the ramifications of Willits going first, the Angels one-upped Washington with a stunner of their own, taking UC Santa Barbara right-hander Tyler Bremner with the second overall pick. That made Bremner the first pitcher off the board in a class that included three elite college lefties (Anderson, Tennessee’s Liam Doyle and Florida State’s Jamie Arnold) whom much of the industry expected would hear their names called before Bremner.
