Draft history, pt. 4
The dominant name from the 2023 draft was number one pick (from LSU) Paul Skenes. He spent barely any time in the minors and was Rookie of the Year in 2024, Cy Young winner in 2025, and has made 17 starts this year for the Pirates. That’s the kind of impact people hope for from a #1 pick!
The #2 pick was LSU OF Dylan Crews who made his debut for the Nationals the very next year. The Tigers took HS OF Max Clark with the #3 pick. The Rangers scored with the #4 pick, Florida OF Wyatt Langford whose 11.5 bWAR is second only to Skenes’ 16.
The Giants took Bryce Eldridge with the 16th pick and I think we have to be pleased with that one. Bryce won’t be 22 until October and he looks like a major-leaguer already.
In 2024 the #1 pick was 2B Travis Bazzana from Oregon State. He made his debut with the Guardians this year. Wake Forest P Chase Burns was #2 and he made it to the bigs in 2025. This year he’s made 16 starts for the Reds. The Rockies took Georgia OF Charlie Condon at #3, he’s still in the minors. The #4 pick, Wake Forest 1B Nick Kurtz, jumped to MLB last year and continues to be a stud this year.
The Giants took James Tibbs III with the 13th pick. The Florida State OF was part of the package for Rafael Devers. The Red Sox traded him later to the Dodgers and he’s at AAA.
No one from the 2025 first-round draft class has MLB bWAR. The Giants chose Tennessee 2B Gavin Kilen. The 22-year old is at A+ Eugene. The top pick that year was HS SS Eli Willits (Nationals), #2 was Santa Barbara P Tyler Bremner (Angels), #3 was LSU P Kade Anderson (Mariners), and the #4 pick was HS SS Ethan Holliday, son of Matt, grabbed by his dad’s team (Rockies).
