WESTFIELD – For the fourth consecutive year, a member of the Westfield Starfires was selected in the Major League Baseball Draft, as right-handed pitcher Cole Raymond was taken in the 17th round, 499th overall, by the Los Angeles Angels.

Tyler Bremner, the No. 2 pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, broke down in tears on Sunday, July 13 as he was selected. A month earlier, his mother died of breast cancer.

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.
