The first round of the draft is in the books.

I've got Johnny Venizia here to help us wrap it all up.

Coming up next on the Rotowire MLB podcast.

What's happening, everybody?

Welcome to the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

Jeff Erickson here with Johnny Vanisia.

You see a lot of his work on the college side for us. Obviously, a big baseball podcast. Jeff Erickson here with Johnny Venizia. You see a lot of his work on the

college side for us. Obviously, a big baseball guy does the college world series. We had him on Veson with us the number of times. He was on, not just with us on Beeson, but he's like a regular on Veson. You know, he knows his college players more than anybody. I am so excited to talk with you, Johnny, because there's a lot

happening here. It's a wild draft. Let's start off at the top, man. There was rumor to be

surprises, and sure enough, right off at the top. There was, you know, Eli Willits goes number

one to the Nats, a number other surprising picks early on looks pretty good.

Dude, I got to be honest, I am shocked.

Like this thing went completely unhinged off the top of the board here.

And so I did my, I did my MLB draft preview last week, last Sunday with my guy Joe Doyle,

who's like, who's, this is the guy to know for the draft and prospects.

And this was before the Nationals cleaned house.

And it was pretty much where I thought it was probably going to be Ethan Holiday or Kate Anderson.

But he mentioned Eli Wilts as a dark horse.

And, you know, this was a year where something could go haywire

because there wasn't, there wasn't really any slam dunk like a Paul Skeens or a Wyatt Langford.

And it was a very high school heavy class, especially with the shortstop. As we saw, there was like

a million of them taken tonight so far. So that definitely throws a wrench into things.
