We are now 4 days away from the 2026 MLB Draft, where the Washington Nationals will have the 11th overall pick and are looking to add another key piece to their farm system and a potential building block towards long-term success. Yesterday, I completed my draft big board, which you can read here if you are interested, and I wanted to create a game where fans could get more engaged not only in who the Nationals will be picking, but also in everyone ahead of them as well.
Thus, I created the MLB Draft Prediction Game, a game where you predict the top 11 picks of the 2026 MLB Draft and gain points the more often you are correct. Correctly predicting who a team will draft is worth 5 points, predicting the position that they draft from is worth 2 points, and predicting if a team chooses a high school or college prospect is worth one point.

The added twist for Nats fans is that all points from correct predictions of the Nationals pick are worth three times as much, so correctly predicting who the Nationals will select is worth as much as predicting three other picks.
The overall winner is whoever accumulates the most points once the game has ended. The prize for the winner, if they want it, will be eternal glory, and a shoutout in our post-draft article here on Federal Baseball. Feel free to also copy your results after you submit and discuss your methods in the comments below. Check out the game below, and enjoy!
