DRAFT HQ  

2018 MLB Draft: Reviewing the 2025 World Series, the player pool featured one outlier in their professional beginnings via the draft as Adison Barger was the only one selected in 2018. While the season finale didn’t carry standouts from the draft, the 2025 season as a whole saw draft picks from seven years ago have historic seasons, most notably, Cal Raleigh who was a 3rd round pick and Tarik Skubal, a ninth rounder. Reviewing the draft, Director of College Scouting, David Seifert breaks down how the career’s of various players and overall performances that teams have seen from their 2018 MLB Draft picks. More>>
