2024 Major League Baseball draft
Updated: 12/10/2025, 4:41:26 PM Wikipedia source
The 2024 Major League Baseball Draft took place on July 14–16, 2024, in Fort Worth, Texas. The draft assigned amateur baseball players to Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. The first six selections were set via a lottery, with first round picks belonging to the remaining lottery participants set in reverse order of regular season winning percentage. To complete the first round, playoff teams selected in an order that combined postseason finish, revenue sharing status, and reverse order of winning percentage. Reverse order of regular season winning percentage and postseason finish was used to set the draft order for rounds two through 20. The Arizona Diamondbacks were awarded a Prospect Promotion Incentive Pick after Corbin Carroll won the 2023 National League Rookie of the Year Award. The Baltimore Orioles also received a Prospect Promotion Incentive Pick after Gunnar Henderson won the 2023 American League Rookie of the Year Award. The Cleveland Guardians won the 2024 MLB Draft Lottery and selected Travis Bazzana with the first pick. It was the first time that the Guardians had the first overall pick in the MLB Draft, the first time an Australian was drafted with the 1st overall pick, as well as the first time a second baseman was selected first overall. Cam Smith of the Houston Astros and Ryan Johnson of the Los Angeles Angels made their MLB debut on March 27, 2025, making them the first players from the 2024 draft to make their major league debuts. Smith had been drafted by the Chicago Cubs before being traded to Houston that offseason.
