Elly Wilits of Fort Cob-Brookston, Edmund Santa at OCla, run first after hitting a fly ball during a high school baseball game between Fort Cob-Brookston at High School and Stillwater at High School. Atlanta-An organizational switch-up, Washington Nationals, on Sunday made a stunning selection with the first pick of MLB draft, selecting 17-year-old shortstop Elli Wilits.
Amidst the sixth losing season of the franchise a week after General Manager Mike Rizo and Manager Dave Martinez, the team hopes that Wilits – A Fort Cob, Oklahoma, Native – 2019 – can return to Gaurav for World Series Champs.
LSU pitcher Ked Anderson was predicted with most pundits – who selected number 3 – or as the first choice of high school shortstop Ethan Holiday, as the first choice, citizens went to a separate route with the wilits.
As a senior in 2025, Wils hit a .516 with nine domestic runs, 33 runs, RBI and 48 stolen bases. Originally a member of the 2026 square, the Wilits revived and committed to the University of Oklahoma.
