Just over a week remains until the MLB Draft. It’s not as immediately franchise-altering as the NBA and NFL drafts, but it’s still a time to celebrate the future of the sport. More than 600 All players are eligibleMajor league teams will call out the names of players from all over the United States, its territories and Canada. From there, they’ll decide whether to begin their professional careers or continue on as amateurs.
Before the draft starts off in Seattle — this is the third draft in a row taking place in the same city and during the same week as the All-Star Game — here’s what you need to know.

You can also find out more about the following: Pittsburgh PiratesFor the second time within three years, you will be the one to start the clock.
Why the Washington Nationals aren’t the owners of the first pick after they posted the worst record in the major leagues last year. It’s because Pirates win draft lottery, which took place for the first time ahead of this year’s selection process. This took place during the Winter Meetings of 2022. The 2022 Winter Meetings. Draft Lottery, the 18 teams that missed the playoffs were assigned odds based on the prior year’s win percentage, with the worst winning percentage getting the best odds. The top six teams were then determined by a random draw. Pittsburgh was selected first. Washington came in second, followed by the Detroit TigersThe Texas RangersThe Minnesota Twins and the Oakland A’s.
We’ll look at the rest of the first-round order below.
Who will be the first pick in the draft? Who will be the No.
This is the $9.721million question. It’s almost certainly going to be a player from the College World Series champion LSU Tigers. There are two in the mix — outfielder Dylan Crews and fireballing right-hander Paul Skenes. However, there are many other options than the two champions. Florida’s Wyatt Langford and high school outfielders Max Clark and Walker Jenkins are also in the mix to go 1-1. The decision will ultimately be based on strategy. The choice will ultimately come down to strategy.
In his most recent mock draft, The Athletic’s MLB Draft and prospects expert Keith Law showed the Pirates going with Skenes. So who’s to say? On July 9, The Pirates will finally put an end conjecture.
What is order of draft for first round?
After the lottery determined the six top selections for the first round, the remaining 12 non-playoff sides were ranked according to their winning percentages from 2022. The 12 playoffs teams were arranged according to when they were eliminated and their revenue sharing status. The New York MetsThen, there is the Los Angeles DodgersThe first round is missing. The first picks from these teams fell 10 spots, to No. Both teams’ first selections, ranked 32 and 36 respectively, dropped 10 places to the No. Both teams have exceeded the threshold of competitive balance tax by more than 40 million dollars. This year’s first round features only 28 players.
The first round is not the only thing to consider. First, let’s look at the MarinersNo. 29 was a special pick. No. 29 was a bonus pick. Julio Rodríguez won the American League’s Rookie of the Year award in 2022, triggering the Prospect Promotion Incentive pick. The PPI was introduced in the latest collective agreement to discourage time-tampering and encourage teams to keep top prospects in their rosters on opening day. The Mariners were then awarded the No. The Mariners were selected as the 30th team in the Competitive Balance Round A. This round features teams with either the 10 smallest market or revenue pool.
This is the order of the 28 first picks. You can find the rest of draft order at MLB.com.
MLB Draft order of first round
What is the maximum amount of money that a team can spend on draft picks?
All slots in the 10 first rounds of draft are given a specific value. Totaling these values determines each team’s bonus pool. Teams can’t exceed their bonus pools in order to sign players during the top 10 rounds.
Rounds 11-20 are different. The picks do not have a slot value. Teams are allowed to spend up $150,000 for individual picks during the second draft half, without fear of losing their bonus pool. The bonus pool is affected if the team exceeds the $150,000 threshold.
A caveat: If a team fails to sign a player in the top 10 rounds, the player’s pick value is deducted from the team’s bonus pool.
Who has the most money to spend in the draft’s first 10 rounds?
Pirates has the largest bonus pool with $16,185.700. It’s the biggest pool by $438,500. Tigers come in second, with $15.747.200, despite being the third pick. The Nationals, with $14.502,400, are third. The team that has spent the least money in the top 10 rounds will be the Philadelphia Phillies ($5,185,500). The full list of bonus pools can be found at MLB.com.
Who are the players to watch during the draft of the NFL?
There is a rumor that Crews has made it known he doesn’t want to be drafted by the Pirates at 1-1. This makes for some interesting intrigue. Skenes, the 100+ mph wonder? Or will the Pirates try to grab someone like Max Clark in a big way? It’s worth keeping an eye on all three players.
The buck doesn’t stop there, though. Law rated 100 athletes for his annual draft rankings. Spend some time perusing his listYou can also suggest players that you would like to see.
I’ll be interested to see what happens to LSU pitcher Ty Floyd. He was a star in the College World Series, when he struck 17 Florida batters out in the first game of the championship series. He’s ranked as the No. 100 prospect in Law’s rankings, so it’s entirely likely he won’t even be picked until Day 2. Floyd might be in store for a surprise, so remember him as the picks come in following the first round.
