For the first time in nearly three decades, the St. Louis Cardinals hold a Top 5 pick in the MLB Draft, a rare opportunity to land a high-upside, top-of-the-crop prospect to shape the team's future.

The Washington Nationals have the first pick and notably fired club president Mike Rizzo just a week before the draft. The Angels follow with the Mariners picking third. The Yankees, Dodgers and Mets don't have a first-round pick this year due to exceeding their CBT threshold in 2024.
