Our fifth edition of the 2025 MLB mock draft is now here, and it comes with wholesale changes! Lots of lots of changes are a part of 2025 MLB Mock Draft Version 5.0.
The Sports Bank, at least as far as we know, is the only independently-owned, mom and pop shop website to publish a mock draft in all four of the major North American sports.
In case you missed it, here is the link to our 2025 NHL mock draft. Regarding the 2025 NFL mock draft, you can find that at this link. For the 2025 NBA mock draft, go here.

The lottery portion of the 2025 MLB draft will be held during the baseball winter meetings. The order won’t be determined until then. For now, we’re basing the order on Tankathon’s lottery simulator.
The actual draft is likely to be held during the All-Star festivities again, which this year will be in Atlanta.
Non-revenue sharing teams are ineligible to receive back-to-back lottery picks, and thus the Chicago White Sox (who broke the record for the most losses in the modern era) and the Oakland A’s (who were terrible as well) drop down to 10th and 11th despite their AWFUL win-loss records.
Happy 2025 MLB mock draft everyone!
