The 2025 college baseball season officially ended Sunday with the LSU Tigers crowned national champions after they beat Coastal Carolina in the College World Series finals. With that, attention in the amateur baseball world now shifts to the upcoming MLB draft.

The title marks LSU's second in the last three years after earning the title in 2023 with Paul Skenes as the ace of their staff. This year, it was Kade Anderson who did the heavy lifting as the star pitcher also earned Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.

Anderson is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the No. 3 prospect of the upcoming draft and is one of the top options for the Washington Nationals with the No. 1 pick. His main competition appears to be Oklahoma high school shortstop Ethan Holliday, son of former MLB All-Star Matt Holliday.
