Summary

Chris Welsh (@IsItTheWelsh) and Joe Orrico (@JoeOrrico99) are joined by Frank Stampfl (@Roto_Frank) of CBS Sports to break down the first round of 2025 fantasy baseball drafts from every angle!

Is Shohei Ohtani the clear cut #1 pick, or could Bobby Witt Jr. be the right choice in certain formats? Does Elly De La Cruz belong in the very top tier? Are Corbin Carroll and Julio Rodriguez worthy first round selections? Should you consider taking Paul Skenes or Tarik Skubal?
