The Dodgers select left-handed pitcher Zach Root and contact-hitting outfielder Charles Davalan with the No. 40 and No. 41 overall picks in the 2025 MLB draft.

Arkansas baseball pitcher Zach Root was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers with the 40th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft Sunday night. His teammate, Charles Davalan, went to the Dogers with the 41st overall pick as Los Angeles tapped into the Arkansas pipeline with back-to-back selections.

For the first time since 2019, before Brian Barber took over as amateur scouting director, the Phillies used their first-round draft pick on a college player, taking right-hander Gage Wood from the University of Arkansas with the 26th overall selection Sunday night.
