MLB Draft

The MLB Draft is an annual event where Major League Baseball teams select new amateur players—primarily from high schools, colleges, and other leagues—to join their organizations. It allows teams to choose promising talent in a structured order, often based on their performance and needs from the previous season. The draft helps ensure a fair distribution of new talent across all teams, fostering competition and development within professional baseball. Selected players typically sign with the team, beginning their journey toward potentially playing in Major League games.
