No. 1 overall pick Eli Willits has signed his professional contract with the Washington Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
The Nats, somewhat surprisingly, took the prep shortstop with the top pick in the 2025 draft but have signed him for $8.2 million, well below the $11,075,900 slot value for the No. 1 pick.
The Washington Nationals have selected shortstop Eli Willits with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft
Fantasy Impact
Willits, a 17-year-old switch-hitting shortstop from Fort Cobb-Broxton High School, won six state championships in three years, capturing three titles in fall and three in spring. He is the youngest player in this year’s draft and becomes the third No. 1 overall pick in Nationals franchise history. Washington previously selected first in 2009 and 2010, taking Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper.
