The first day of the 2024 MLB draft is in the books! The Cleveland Guardians selected Oregon State's Travis Bazzana at No. 1 overall, making the slugger the first top pick in Australia's history. And there were plenty of other notable selections in the early rounds -- from Charlie Condon heading to homer-happy Coors Field with the Colorado Rockies to Jac Caglianone announced as a two-way player in his selection by the Kansas City Royals (he'll almost certainly focus on hitting).

ESPN baseball insiders Alden Gonzalez, Jesse Rogers and David Schoenfield are sharing their favorite and most head-scratching moves of the draft's first night, as well as picks for the players who'll bring the most to their teams long term.
