Out of the four major sports, I don’t think there’s any argument that drafting in baseball is the most difficult. It takes baseball players longer to get to the highest level than in other sports, and it’s very common for first round picks to not work out. You can do all of the research you want, but it’s still very much of a roll of the dice in a lot of ways.
The Blue Jays are a prime example of that sort of thing, as they’ve mostly missed when they’ve had a pick inside the top five throughout their franchise history, something I looked at on the weekend as well.
