Washington was awarded the No. 1 pick in December’s draft lottery, which involves non-playoff teams for the top six picks. The remaining selections were determined by the reverse order of winning percentage for non-playoff teams and postseason results for playoff participants.

1. SS Eli Willits, Fort Cobb-Broxton High School (Okla.)
2. SS Ethan Holliday, Stillwater High School (Okla.)
3. LHP Kade Anderson, LSU
4. LHP Liam Doyle, Tennessee
5. LHP Jamie Arnold, Florida State
