The MLB Draft may not receive the kind of attention given to the NFL and NBA during their annual player selection events, but draft week is still important for all 30 major-league teams as they look to restock their pantries with can’t-miss prospects.
Of course, with 40 rounds and more than 1,200 picks to be made, not every one is going to be a hit. The majority of selections won’t ever reach the big leagues, and many of those who do will do so with a different team from the one that drafted them. However, some draft picks do eventually pan out for the teams that pick them and ultimately develop into homegrown stars.
