Willits is the rare player to be selected first overall by an interim general manager. The Nationals fired GM Mike Rizzo, as well as manager Dave Martinez, last Sunday and had Mike DeBartolo, previously Rizzo's assistant general manager, take over as interim GM.
With the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft, the Washington Nationals selected shortstop Eli Willits out of Fort Cobb-Broxton High School in Fort Cobb, Oklahoma.
