The 2025 MLB Draft is almost here, and the A’s are on the clock with the 11th overall pick. In this jam-packed episode of Locked On A’s, Booney breaks down the top prospects expected to be available when the A’s makes its selection. From dynamic college bats like Arizona outfielder Brendan Summerhill to power arms like Oklahoma’s Kyson Witherspoon, we cover the scouting reports, comps to current MLB players, and why each guy could be a franchise-altering pick. There’s also a deep dive into team needs – spoiler alert: it’s pitching, pitching, and more pitching – and how that could shape the front office’s draft board. 

But it doesn’t stop with Round 1. We dig into potential second-round steals at pick #48, sleepers who could pop in the fourth and fifth rounds, and the impact of not having a third-rounder this year. Whether it’s high-upside prep bats like Xavier Neyens or college standouts like Max Belyeu and Luke Stevenson, Booney lays out a roadmap of what the A’s could (and should) do over all 20 rounds. You’ll get the comps, the analytics, and the front-office mindset behind every possible move.
