The MLB Draft is an annual event where Major League Baseball teams select eligible amateur players to join their organizations. This process allows teams to acquire new talent from high schools, colleges, and international leagues. The draft typically takes place in June and consists of multiple rounds, with each team given a specific pick order based on their performance in the previous season. Players chosen in the MLB Draft can sign contracts to play in the minor leagues, with the hope of eventually reaching the major leagues. The draft is crucial for teams to build their rosters and develop future stars in Major League Baseball.
