Dynasty Grades from Day One of the 2025 MLB Draft

How did each team do in the 2025 MLB Draft?

Trevor Hooth
Dynasty 7/25/2025

With the MLB Draft in the books, dynasty managers are starting to plan for first year player drafts that will include these new players. It’s an exciting time both as a fan of teams, a fan of prospects, or just wanting an injection of new talent into fantasy baseball player pools.

Draft grades always come out right after, and this is the same concept. However these grades are focused on a dynasty slant. I’ve focused only on day one picks because those are the players who will be mostly focused on, outside of potentially a handful of names.

The parameters for grading are all my own throughs on each class. If I’m higher or lower on a prospect than it will be reflected. I tried my best to slant these grades to reflect players that would be relevant outside of extremely deep leagues, meaning players who project to be relevant in most league formats are weighted heavier. I’m admitting at the top that I’m an easy grader because many of these picks have some really interesting potential, even if it’s risky. Because there is that potential, it’s hard to feel like any team did terribly from the jump. There is no team graded below a C- for that reason.

 

Arizona Diamondbacks

Day one picks: SS Kayson Cunningham (18th overall), RHP Patrick Forbes (29th overall), and RHP Brian Curley (92nd overall)

It’s easy to see why the DBacks liked Kayson Cunningham. He’s a very talented contact hitter with great speed. There are signs some power is coming, but he’s a gap hitter right now. Patrick Forbes has real potential, starting with s high spin fastball that sits in the low-to-mid-90’s. He also has a good sweeper and developing changeup. He could turn himself into a solid prospect from the mid-20ish range of FYPD. Finally, Brian Curley has a fastball to dream on. However, there’s a real chance he winds up more as a high leverage arm than a starter, though only time will tell. While there is talent here, it seems better suited for real life.

Grade: B-

Athletics

Day one picks: LHP Jamie Arnold (11th overall) and OF Devin Taylor (48th overall)

Even though they only made two picks on day one, both players should be high picks come FYPD season. Jamie Arnold was one of the best college pitchers available, and somehow he slid down to the Athletics at 11. He can touch 97 MPH with good run on his fastball with an even better slider. His ability to generate whiffs should make him a coveted draft target. Devin Taylor was a potential first rounder, too. His blend of patience, bat to ball, and power give him a good fantasy ceiling to dream on. Both of them should be in play early in FYPD, regardless of league size. Two excellent picks on day one give the Athletics a high mark.

Grade: A+

Atlanta Braves

Day one picks: SS Tate Southisene (22nd overall), SS Alex Lodise (60th overall), and SS Cody Miller (96th overall)

Shockingly, Atlanta didn’t take a pitcher. Or maybe they plan to convert Tate Southisene? Prep shortstops were all the rage this year, but it seemed like Atlanta went reaching pretty far to get one. Still, a twitchy athlete who can produce good EVs is probably worth reaching for. Many people had Alex Lodise coming off the board before Southisene, but such is the MLB Draft. Lodise is a contact-over-power college bat, but that is not to say anything negative about his power. He should be able to contribute some pop and speed to coincide with the hitting skills. And finally Cody Miller profiles with a great glove and the potential to hit for power in the professional ranks. As FYPD rankings and mock drafts begin, it seems likely Lodise will be the first of this bunch off the board, and even that may not be until after pick 30. There’s plenty to dream on in this talented crop, but for dynasty purposes it doesn’t look like the most standout group right now.

Grade: C-

Baltimore Orioles

Day one picks: C/OF Ike Irish (19th overall), C Caden Bodine (30th overall), SS Wehiwa Aloy (31st overall), OF Slater de Brun (37th overall), LHP Joseph Dzierwa (58th overall), RHP JT Quinn (69th overall), and OF RJ Austin (93rd overall)

The overwhelming odds are that if you make a FYPD, that player will be someone the Orioles drafted. It’s a good thing I’m not on a character count here because those seven day one picks would’ve wrecked it. And to be frank they did a great job. Ike Irish, though almost certainly not a catcher, has the potential to provide power to fantasy lineups without striking out a ton. Though he doesn’t walk much either, which will limit his potential in OBP leagues. Caden Bodine showed really good contact skills in college with limited power potential. He should stick at catcher, though. After maybe Irish, no one in this group should go higher than Wehiwa Aloy in FYPD. He has tremendous power potential with hit tool concerns, but the payoff could be big. The other big name from this bunch is Slater de Brun, who shows the potential for a plus hit tool with double plus speed. Power is going to be the big question in his fantasy profile, but he has some really intriguing existing qualities that will make him relevant in FYPD of any size. This makes four Orioles who are threats to go in FYPD. All of them are threats inside the top 30-ish picks, with Irish and Aloy being mid-teens at the latest.

Grade: A

Boston Red Sox

Day one picks: RHP Kyson Witherspoon (15th overall), RHP Marcus Phillips (33rd overall), SS Henry Godbout (75th overall), and RHP Anthony Eyanson (87th overall)

There were not many who thought Kyson Witherspoon would be a viable option for the Red Sox at 15 heading into the draft, but here we are. He can touch 99 MPH with a devastating slider that will certainly make him a potential top 10 FYPD pick. Excellent velocity annd a big slider that compliment a starters frame make Marcus Phillips an interesting prospect, to say the least. Still, there is refinement to be had before he becomes a serious FYPD threat. A guy who likely doesn’t appear high up on rankings, at least immediately, is Henry Godbout. However, I love this pick. He sprays the ball with quick wrists and good size. I think the Red Sox can get more power out of him. And maybe the best value pick of the entire first day was Anthony Eyanson. He’s going to be in FYPD conversations. He’s got really good stuff and a college pedigree that should provide him some backing during ranking season. If I had to guess he may sneak into late-20’s at the highest, though maybe more of a mid-30’s pick.

Grade: B+

Chicago Cubs

Day one picks: OF Ethan Conrad (17th overall), OF Kane Kepley (56th overall), and RHP Dominick Reid (90th overall)

Taking Ethan Conrad gives the Cubs a potential power/speed combination with some swing and miss questions in his game. It remains to be seen if his speed will play out on the bases enough, but he has loads of fantasy potential if it does. Chicago’s second pick certainly can provide speed, but his offensive game is built more around an excellent hit tool. Kane Kepley is adept at making contact, as he rarely swings and misses. Dominick Reid dominates with a dastardly changeup that plays extremely well off his low-90’s fastball. It provides him a base as a ’stuff to dream on’ type of arm. Conrad seems like the only real threat to be relevant outside of deep league FYPD, and he should go right around where he was drafted in real life.

Grade: C+

Chicago White Sox

Day one picks: SS Billy Carlson (10th overall), OF Jaden Fauske (44th overall), and SS Kyle Lodise (76th overall)

The White Sox had a few really good players to choose from 10th overall, and they went with Billy Carlson, who by all accounts was an excellent decision. While he is glove-first right now, there is a lot of power potential for dynasty managers to dream on. He’ll need to refine his hit tool, but he has the makings of an easy top-10 selection in FYPD. Jaden Fauske is a bat-first profile regardless where he ends up defensively. At one point it was thought to be catcher, but he was announced as an outfielder. Either way, he can get his bat to the ball with good plate discipline and developing power. I would guess his batting prowess will land him right around the top 40, give or take, in rankings. The third pick of the day for the White Sox, Kyle Lodise, seems like he’ll be a deep league play with OBP skills and gap power with good speed. Carlson and Fauske provide a good FYPD class.

Grade: B

Cincinnati Reds

Day one picks: SS Steele Hall (9th overall), RHP Aaron Watson (51st overall), and RHP Mason Morris (83rd overall)

The contact and speed oriented stylings of Steele Hall likely limit his fantasy appeal. It’s worth pointing out that it’s elite level speed, though. He’s one of the youngest players in the draft class , being 17-years-old of draft day, so there is some projection to be had. Still, he’s not likely to be a top 10 FYPD target. The Reds pitching has been of interest as of late, especially because they’ve spent high picks on it. Aaron Watson has a gaggle of solid pitches, but has shown himself to be more oriented towards weak contact, putting a cap on his fantasy ceiling. Mason Morris was a college reliever, so he’ll be a potential name is deep leagues.

Grade: C

Cleveland Guardians

Day one picks: OF Jace LaViolette (27th overall), SS Dean Curley (64th overall), OF Aaron Walton (66th overall), RHP Will Hynes (70th overall), OF Nolan Schubart (101st overall)

This is certainly different for the Guardians. They’ve added some big time power potential in Jace LaViolette, which outside of Chase DeLauter they don’t have a ton of in their higher end prospects. LaViolette comes in with a high walk rate, but also high strikeout rate. In essence, he’s a risky potential fantasy darling. Dean Curley is going to find himself on the infield somewhere with the ability to turn into a power hitter, who may have a couple different eligible positions. The Guardians trend continued with Aaron Watson, who should provide his share of power and defense. Finally, a pick that makes sense in Will Hynes. He’s a prep pitcher with good spin on his slider and a mid-90’s fastball. In the third round they took Nolan Schubart, who again provides power potential. Overall, this class can be risky with some hit tool concerns, but it is loaded with power upside. It’s a little harder to know the fit because Cleveland isn’t usually filled with this type of hitter.

Grade: C+

Colorado Rockies

Day one picks: SS Ethan Holliday (4th overall), RHP JB Middleton (35th overall), Max Belyeu (74th overall), Ethan Hedges (77th overall)

It kind of made too much sense that Ethan Holliday would end up with the Rockies. He’s a high level power hitter with more pop than his brother. The younger of the two has a ton of power potential while showing the ability to draw walks to help in OBP formats. JB Middleton has some fun stuff, including a fastball that can touch 97 MPH and a really good slider. Unfortunately he landed in Colorado, which won’t help his fantasy value. Max Belyeu brings and interesting blend of hit and power, particularly in the Coors environment down the line. Ethan Hedges is a solid hitter who can show more power, which is something the Rockies may be able to help him out with. Overall, Colorado added some hitters who can thrive within the organization, now they just have to be willing to call them up.

Grade: A-

Detroit Tigers

Day one picks: SS Jordan Yost (24th overall), C Michael Oliveto (34th overall), RHP Malachi Witherspoon (62nd overall), LHP Ben Jacobs (98th overall)

The Tigers did what the Tigers do. They took some prep hitters for underslot early that show signs of being able to control the zone. Jordan Yost is a contact oriented infielder who has shown the ability to get bat to ball at a high rate. The question is if he can add some pop, but Detroit has had success with this type of profile before. Michael Oliveto is an athletic catcher with a nice swing that helps him get to power. If he can develop that from the catcher position, he’ll be a good fantasy option. The twin brother of the Red Sox first rounder, Malachi Witherspoon, went in the second round to the Tigers. Hehas a high octane fastball and big curveball, but he’ll need to throw more strikes. Ben Jacobs is a southpaw who sits in the lower-90’s with a pair of breaking balls. If he misses bats then he’ll show a decent ceiling. Detroit has had success with these types of profiles in the past, though it may not be the most fantasy appealing group come FYPD.

Grade: B-

Houston Astros

Day one picks: SS Xavier Neyens (21st overall), OF Ethan Frey (95th overall)

The Astros had only two picks on day one, but they did make some fantasy friendly decisions. Xavier Neyens was a favorite of mine heading into the draft. He has a beautiful swing that produces a lot of power. There have been some hit tool concerns, but he’s a bat-first prospect. In the third round Houston selected Ethan Frey, who is a power oriented college bat with a big frame. He can drive the ball well who showed some good bat to ball skills at LSU. Though he may run into swing and miss at the pro level. Even though there were only two picks, Xavier Neyens looks to be a better FYPD pick than his draft level, and Ethan Frey will be a good deep league pick.

Grade: B+

Kansas City Royals

Day one picks: OF Sean Gamble (23rd overall), SS Josh Hammond (28th overall), RHP Michael Lombardi (61st overall), LHP Justin Lamkin (71st overall), RHP Cameron Millar (97th overall)

In terms of tools, Sean Gamble has a lot of them. He’s shown the ability to hit to all fields and find plenty of barrel. Gamble has been showing improved power with an existing ability to run well. There is a lot of projection to be had here, making him an intriguing player come FYPD. Josh Hammond brings potential as a power hitter. He was a potential two way player, but it seems likely the Royals will want him to focus on hitting. Another player with a two way history is Michael Lombardi, but he’s likely heading the pitching route in pro ball. He struck out a a lot of batters in a closer role, but showed promise starting. His lack of track record as a starter could make him a sneaky pick come FYPD season. The latter pair of pitchers, Justin Lamkin and Cameron Millar, bring differing skillsets, but are certainly worth a look in deep league FYPD.

Grade: B+

Los Angeles Angels

Day one picks: RHP Tyler Bremner (2nd overall), RHP Chase Shores (47th overall), LHP Johnny Slawinski (79th overall), RHP Nate Snead (105th overall)

Pretty universally it was shocking to see Tyler Bremner taken second overall. That being said, the Angels history of quick promotions makes Bremner more interesting in FYPD. He has a devastating changeup to generate whiffs, but will likely be outside of top 5 come draft season. Chase Shores is a big bodied pitcher who can hit triple digits, but he’ll need to reign in his command. In the third round the Angels took Johnny Slawinski is a prep pitcher with a big ceiling, but his coming in more as clay with a lot of potential to mold. Nate Snead can hit triple digits, as well, with the same concerns with command. There’s a lot of potential with these arms, but there was a big reach initially.

Grade: B

Los Angeles Dodgers

Day one picks: LHP Zachary Root (40th overall), OF Charles Davalan (41st overall), RHP Cam Leiter (65th overall), OF Landyn Vidourek (104th overall)

The Dodgers did great, love this draft class for them! Who did they take? Jokes aside, they got a solid southpaw in Zachary Root, who deploys a sinker that can touch 97 MPH with some funk to his delivery. With the pick right after Root, Los Angeles selected Charles Davalan. He’s an outfielder with good speed and a nice blend of hit tool and potential for power. Next in the line of the Leiter pitching lineage as a nephew of Al and Mark Leiter. He has a big arm that can touch upper-90’s with a big slider. There is a power and speed upside with Landyn Vidourek, but a lot of swing and miss. There are some fun players to consider here, but the organization itself is a difficult one for prospecting, which is sad because they also are phenomenal at developing.

Grade: A-

Miami Marlins

Day one picks: SS Aiva Arquette (7th overall), OF Cam Cannarella (43rd overall), OF Brandon Compton (46th overall), OF Max Williams (78th overall)

The Marlins got one of the best, if not the best, college hitter in this class in Aiva Arquette. He has the skills to show good hit and power tools. There are some who believe Arquette is primed to be a top 5 FYPD pick, some are not believers. I’m a believer. Cam Cannarella is a hit-first type who is a good defender. If he can prove the ability to hit for some power he’ll be more universally fantasy relevant, though he should spark some interest in average leagues. Another outfielder taken is Brandon Compton, who has good power upside and whiff concerns. The same can be said about Max Williams, who has an odd setup at the plate. Led by a great pick in Arquette, this is a very solid class for the Marlins.

Grade: A

Milwaukee Brewers

Day one picks: 3B Andrew Fischer (20th overall), SS Brady Ebel (32nd overall), LHP J.D. Thompson (59th overall), LHP Frank Cairone (68th overall), and RHP Jacob Morrison (94th overall)

The Brewers continued to fill what is an already loaded farm system. Andrew Fischer is a great hitter with a knack for some power. Mixed with Milwaukee player development, he’ll be an exciting prospect, though his defensive home may come into question. Brady Ebel is extremely toolsy, particularly with his skills at the plate with an advanced approach. J.D. Thompson is a low-velocity lefty, sitting in the 90-93 MPH range, which isn’t as exciting for fantasy. Frank Cairone is in a similar boat, but the prep southpaw can get his fastball up to about 96 MPH. There was a lot of money saved, presumably in part to sign Jacob Morrison. The 6’8″ righty has big stuff and a big ceiling that could make him a really good pick come FYPD.

Grade: A-

Minnesota Twins

Day one picks: SS Marek Houston (16th overall), RHP Riley Quick (36th overall), SS Quentin Young (54th overall), RHP James Ellwanger (88th overall)

There was a time when the Twins would almost certainly take empty power early. Marek Houston is not that. He’s a really good defensive shortstop with a solid hit tool. Still, his talent doesn’t match that of a fantasy darling, more of a real life value. Riley Quick is a big righty with an upper-90’s sinker and a big slider. His upside is huge, but there are some durability concerns, which contributed to his drop to pick 36. They got good value in Quintin Young, who has bloodline and a ton of projection if he can hit a bit more. James Ellwanger is in the mid-90’s with his fastball, but again comes with durability concerns and a decently high ceiling. There’s risk here, but there’s a lot of projectability with these players that makes this a super interesting class for dynasty purposes.

Grade: B

New York Mets

Day one picks: TWP Mitch Voit (38th overall), and SS Antonio Jimenez (102nd overall)

Even though he was announced as a two way player, it’s likely Mitch Voit is a hitter. He’s athletic with some power projection and ability to hit. Wherever his hitting abilities line up, they will be helped by his baserunning abilities and speed. As a pitcher he has a decent fastball and slider combination. Antonio Jimenez is a switch hitting infielder who is more glove than bat, but his bat has the potential to produce some good power.

Grade: C+

New York Yankees

Day one picks: SS Dax Kilby (39th overall), and SS Kaeden Kent (103rd overall)

Should the Yankees be able to develop some power in Dax Kilby’s game, he could be a solid second baseman down the line. That is the position he’s believed to wind up long term. That being said, he’s shown excellent plate skills in terms of contact and not chasing a ton. Kaeden Kent is the son of Jeff Kent. The younger Kent has some decent pop at the plate, but will need to hit more in order for that to be consistent.ย  The Yankees didn’t have many picks on day one, and neither seems like the type to pop during FYPD.

Grade: C-

Philadelphia Phillies

Day one picks: RHP Gage Wood (26th overall), LHP Cade Obermueller 63rd overall, and RHP Cody Bowker (100th overall)

There were many who predicted Gage Wood would go to Atlanta, but he wound up the first round pick of the Phillies. He has an excellent whiff inducing fastball and big curveball. He looks every bit the part of a future starter at the big league level. Cade Obermueller has touched the upper-90’s from a low slot and also has a big slider. The combination of pitches give him a chance to start, though he may become an excellent reliever one day. The Phillies took a line of college arms, including Cody Bowker in the third round, who is a strike throwing righty that profiles as more of a TOBY. A lot of these savings on college arms were likely to sign Matthew Fisher in the 7th round, who is a high ceiling prep arm.

Grade: B+

Pittsburgh Pirates

Day one picks: RHP Seth Hernandez (6th overall), RHP Angel Cervantes (50th overall), 3B Murf Gray (73rd overall), C Easton Carmichael (82nd overall)

The shocking shakeup early in the draft left the Pirates available to take highly touted prep righty Seth Hernandez, who boasts big velocity and a big changeup. Prep arms are risky, but he comes in extremely polished and adds yet another exciting arm for Pittsburgh. Angel Cervantes is another exciting arm, but for different reasons. He doesn’t have the velocity, at least yet, but he does have some exciting off-speed pitches. Outside of Hernandez, Murf Gray might be the next FYPD player from this class. He has massive power potential without a track record of swing and miss that may be coveted come draft season. Finally there’s Easton Carmichael who plays a premium position with some fringe-to-average tools across the board. Between Hernandez and Gray, this could be an exciting group.

Grade: A-

San Diego Padres

Day one picks: LHP Kruz Schoolcraft (25th overall), and OF Ryan Wideman (99th overall)

It was not shocking that the Padres selected a prep pitcher with their first round pick, and they got an interesting one in Kruz Schoolcraft. The 6’8″ southpaw can already get his fastball into the upp-90’s with a promising slider. There’s a lot of potential with Schoolcraft, but he is clay to be molded at this point. Still, it seems like a good fit. The other day one pick, Ryan Wideman, has a ton of speed and power to match. If he hits enough, Wideman will ride that power/speed combo right into some legitimate fantasy relevance. These two players both make interesting cases come FYPD season in different ways.

Grade: B

San Francisco Giants

Day one picks: SS Gavin Kilen (13th overall), and OF Trevor Cohen (85th overall)

For fantasy purposes Gavin Kilen might not be the most exciting of first round picks. He’s got superb contact skills, but he’s aggressive in his approach and doesn’t have a ton of power potential. If he eventually moves off shortstop, he could be a contact oriented second baseman for fantasy purposes. There’s a similar profile to Trevor Cohen, who makes a lot of contact and adds high end speed. Still, there’s not a whole lot of power to project. The Giants got a couple of really interesting real life players, but for fantasy purposes they aren’t the most enticing profiles.

Grade: C-

Seattle Mariners

Day one picks: LHP Kade Anderson (3rd overall), C Luke Stevenson (35th overall), SS Nick Becker (57th overall), and RHP Griffin Hugus (91st overall)

Getting the guy largely projected as the first pick in the draft at third overall is already a solid start. Anderson is not only a top real life draft pick, he’s going to be one of the first few players off the board in FYPD. Luke Stevenson has the chance to become the best fantasy catcher from this class. The former Tar Heel showed some great power throughout his college days and that can translate well for dynasty leagues. Going 57th overall was Nick Becker, who is a big bodied shortstop who makes good contact. With his ability to barrel the ball, he could be a fantasy sleeper, but only if the power comes through as projected. Finally, Griffin Hugus has a solid pitch mix that gives him a starting floor more than a ceiling. A few of these players should be in FYPD talks.

Grade: A

St. Louis Cardinals

Day one picks: LHP Liam Doyle (5th overall), OF Ryan Mitchell (55th overall), RHP Tanner Franklin (72nd overall), and 1B Jack Gurevitch (89th overall)

This is a departure from what already existed in the Cardinals organization prior to the draft. Doyle is a high velocity lefty with a gaggle of good pitches. He should be a popular early pick in FYPD. It’s hard to find a better way to explain Ryan Mitchell better than my friends at Prospects Live have done. They describe him as Dee-Strange Gordon with the potential for a little more power. Tanner Franklin has power stuff, but there is a lot of bullpen risk associated with him, which is one reason his 101 MPH fastball fell to the 72nd overall pick. Day one rounded out with Jack Gurevitch, a bat first prospect who has a long track record of hitting and hitting with power. This was a really good draft for the Cardinals on day one.

Grade: B+

Tampa Bay Rays

Day one picks: SS Daniel Pierce (14th overall), OF Brenden Summerhill (42nd overall), SS Cooper Flemming (53rd overall), OF Dean Moss (67th overall), and C Taitn Gray (86th overall)

The Rays selected Daniel Pierce with their first pick, a prep shortstop with a lot of speed. He’s shown good bat to ball skills and the tell tale signs of some more pop to come. When the draft rolls around, much like many Rays first rounders, he may be a mid teens pick that pops as his career gets going. Based on rankings, Brendan Summerhill was selected at a great value by the Rays. He brings a good skillset, and was envisioned as a clear cut first round talent. That is likely to be reflected in dynasty drafts. Cooper Flemming is a shortstop with a nice frame and some projectibility for the Rays to tap into. Dean Moss is similar in that he’s hit first at the plate with a little more power to be be had down the road. Tampa Bay went prep again with Taitn Gray, who showed some real power potential leading up to the draft. There are two players here who will be in consideration in most leagues, so the Rays walk away with a really good dynasty grade.

Grade: A

Texas Rangers

Day one picks: SS Gavin Fien (12th overall), RHP AJ Russell (52nd overall), and TWP Josh Owens (84th overall)

There is so much to dream on with Gavin Fien, who is a prep infielder with power potential and an existing feel to hit. He may not be a long term shortstop, but his bat certainly is interesting. He’s among a talented group of prep infielders that will be taken during FYPD. AJ Russell gets high marks for his fastball in terms of metrics, he’s gotten it as high as 98 MPH. With other pitches also looking good, Russell is an exciting pitching prospect for dynasty. Even though he was drafted as a two way player, it seems Josh Owens may be more of a hitter. At the plate he has power from the left side. There are two potentially high upside players coming out of these three players.

Grade: A-

Toronto Blue Jays

Day one picks: SS JoJo Parker (8th overall), and OF Jake Cook (81st overall)

It was said when the Blue Jays selected JoJo Parker they got another player like Arjun Nimmala. That’s good enough for me, a dedicated Arjun Nimmala truther. Parker has good power potential on top of showing good contact ability leading up to the draft. He’s going to be an easy top 10 pick for my money come dynasty draft season. Jake Cook is a contact oriented outfielder who can provide really good defense. This day one for the Blue Jays only includes two players, but one of them looks very exciting for fantasy purposes.

Grade: B+

Washington Nationals

Day one picks: SS Eli Willits (1st overall), OF Ethan Petry (49th overall), and RHP Landon Harmon (80th overall)

The first overall pick in real life was a surprise, but it won’t be surprising if he’s in the running to be the fist player off the board in drafts. He has bloodlines and he has the potential to be good at everything you’d want from a fantasy perspective. It may be a longer road for Ethan Petry, but his power potential is certainly interesting. His hit tool will have to prove itself in pro ball. Landon Harmon is another really interesting pick for the Nationals, who had a really good draft even beyond day one. Harmon generates easy velocity and can develop into a legitimate starter down the line.

Grade: A+
