2025 MLB Draft Day SHOCKER + Futures Game Recap
On this solo-hosted edition of the Baseball Insiders Prospect Show, Eric reacts to all the action from Day One of the 2025 MLB Draft, where chaos struck early with Eli Willits and Tyler Bremner going shockingly 1-2 overall. Did anyone see that coming? The surprises didn’t stop there — Jamie Arnold’s slide to the A’s at No. 11 turned heads, while the Tigers went rogue with two eyebrow-raising selections. Eric breaks down which teams stayed steady and which ones went off the rails, plus his early impressions of bonus pool strategy — especially from the Orioles, who may have crushed it with picks like Ike Irish, Caden Bodine, Wehiwa Aloy, and Slater de Brun. Also in this episode: a recap of the 2025 MLB Futures Game, where the NL topped the AL 4-2 in a pitcher-dominated showdown. JR Ritchie and Jurrangelo Cijntje impressed on the mound, but it was Josue de Paula’s clutch 3-run homer that stole the spotlight and earned him MVP honors.
