2025 MLB draft: Complete order of picks for every round

MLB All-Star weekend is right on the horizon. In 2025, the Midsummer Classic will take place at Truist Park in Atlanta, Ga. While this will serve as a vacation for those who weren't named to either the AL or NL All Star teams, all 30 organizations will be hard at work. That's because they will be looking to secure their stars of the future in the 2025 MLB Draft.

The event takes place on Sunday, July 13, live from the Coca Cola Roxy in Cumberland, Ga.

There is so much intrigue surrounding this year's MLB Draft. First, there is no sure-fire first overall pick. The team that holds the No. 1 pick, the Washingtion Nationals, just fired general manager Mike Rizzo and manager Davey Martinez one week before the draft, and is reportedly torn between high-school infielder Ethan Holliday and LSU ace Kade Anderson. So now, that adds even more mystery to the top of the draft.

But fans of every team are probably wondering where their favorite squad picks in each round of the draft. Well, we have you covered.

Complete 2025 MLB Draft order for every round

Round 1 draft order

Picks 28 through 32 are compensation picks for both incentives and losing players in free agency.

The Kansas City Royals earned the No. 28 overall pick due in part to shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. finishing in the Top 3 in AL MVP voting.

The Arizona Diamondbacks earned the No. 29 pick for losing first baseman Christian Walker in free agency to the Houston Astros. The Baltimore Orioles received the No. 30 and 31 picks for losing Corbin Burnes to the Diamondbacks and Anthony Santander to the Toronto Blue Jays, respectively.

The Milwaukee Brewers got the No. 32 pick after losing shortstop Willy Adames Jr. to the San Francisco Giants.

Competitive Balance Round A

Competitive balance rounds give teams in the 10 smallest markets or 10 of those with the smallest revenue receive draft picks after Rounds 1 and 2. The groups of teams alternate between the two rounds each year.

These draft picks can be traded, as evidenced by the Red Sox earning the No. 33 pick from the Brewers for Quinn Priester, the Dodgers receiving the No. 41 pick from the Reds for Gavin Lux, and the Rays getting the No. 42 pick from the Athletics for Jeffrey Springs and Jacob Lopez

The New York Mets, New York Yankees, and Los Angeles Dodgers (Picks 38-40) each have a competitive balance pick due in part to having a 10-pick penalty for exceeding the surcharge threshold in the Competitive Balance Tax.

Round 2 draft order

There are a bunch of teams who don't hold a second-round pick due to signing free agents who received qualifying offers from their former teams. Those without a second-round pick include the Astros, Blue Jays, Diamondbacks, Giants, Mets, Yankees, Red Sox and Padres.

Competitive Balance Round B

The Rays received the No. 67 pick as compensation for not signing 2024 No. 66 overall pick Tyler Bell. The Brewers also earned the No. 68 pick for not signing 2024 No. 67 overall pick Chris Levonas.

The Guardians, meanwhile, received the No. 70 pick from the Diamondbacks in exchange for first baseman Josh Naylor.

Round 3 draft order

Boston's No. 75 selection is a compensation pick after the Padres signed starting pitcher Nick Pivetta. As a result of this deal, the Padres lost their second-round selection.

The Athletics don't hold a third-round pick after signing Luis Severino away from the Mets.

The Angels received the No. 105 overall pick for not signing 2024 No. 81 pick Ryan Prager.

Round 4 draft order

The Braves' 136th overall selection is compensation for watching Max Fried sign with the Yankees. The Yankees lost out on the compensatory pick for losing Juan Soto, in addition to a second-round pick, due to signing Fried.

The Mets, meanwhile, lost their compensatory pick for losing Severino to the Athletics after signing Soto. The Astros also lost out on their compensatory pick for Alex Bregman signing with the Red Sox because they signed Walker.

Round 5 draft order

The Giants don't hold a fifth-round pick due to signing Willy Adames.

Remaining rounds draft order

This will be the exact draft order for every round past the fifth. There will be 20 rounds in the 2025 draft. The event will conclude on Monday, July 14.
