Tonight, in Secaucus, New Jersey, the Washington Nationals will be making three selections on Day One of the MLB Draft. They have two picks in the first round due to Jordan Zimmermann and Ian Desmond leaving via free agency (picks 28 and 29).
This is the first time that the Washington Nationals will be making a pick in the first round since they took pitcher Erick Fedde with the 18th pick back in 2014. The Nats did not have a first round pick last year because of the free agent signing of Max Scherzer.
