Major League Baseball Draft

The Major League Baseball Draft is an annual event where professional teams select eligible amateur players, typically from high schools, colleges, and international leagues, to join their organizations. Held each summer, the draft assigns rights to these players, giving teams the opportunity to develop future stars and build their rosters. It’s a strategic process, with teams evaluating talent and potential before making selections. The draft helps maintain competitive balance by allowing weaker teams earlier picks. Once drafted, players usually go through minor league systems before potentially reaching Major League Baseball.
