SAN DIEGO In each of the past four years, the Nationals have selected a pitcher with their first pick in the MLB Draft. Will they continue that trend this year, when they are on the board at No. 11, or will they go with a position player?
That question will be answered this weekend.
Day 1 of the 2021 Draft will take place live from Denver’s Bellco Theatre on Sunday. It will feature the first 36 picks and will air on MLB Network and ESPN at 7 p.m. ET. Day 2, which will span rounds 2-10, begins at 1 p.m. ET on Monday. The Draft will conclude with rounds 11-20 on Tuesday, starting at noon ET. MLB.com will simulcast MLB Network’s broadcast and provide live coverage on all three days.
