On Sunday night, the Washington Nationals took Georgia high school shortstop Eli Willits at No. 1 in the MLB Draft. It was a bit of a surprise, as many expected them to select pitcher Kade Anderson of LSU, but it's another pick that gives hope to a Nationals franchise that is currently in last place in the National League East.

Willits, 17, is the son of former Angels outfielder Reggie and is the youngest No. 1 pick since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1987.
