The first day of the 2025 MLB draft is complete! The Washington Nationals selected Eli Willits with the No. 1 pick, opting for the prep shortstop -- who might be more likely to sign below slot -- in a draft with no clear-cut top prospect. And there were plenty of other intriguing selections as the first three rounds unfolded Sunday night.

Here is a look at the remainder of the Royals' Day 1 picks: The Royals added a high-upside college arm in the second round. Lombardi posted a 2.14 ERA in 23 games as a top reliever for the Tulane Green Wave. Additionally, he recorded 73 strikeouts in 42 innings pitched.
