The 2019 amateur draft of the Major League Baseball is underway. The three-day event kicked off Monday night with a live broadcast of the MLB network that covered the first round, the first extra round, the competitive round A, the second round, the competitive round B and the second round. Here is the full order draft of 2019, and we have all the results from Day 1 below.
After losing 115 games in 2018, the Baltimore Orioles held the top pick in this year's draft. This is the second time that O's are holding the first choice. They chose Ben McDonald with the first selection in 1989. Monday, the Orioles use No. 1 pick of the Oregon State catcher, Adley Rutschman. Rutschman is the first receiver selected for the first time overall since Joe Mauer in 2001.
Bobby Witt Jr., son of Bobby Sr, a long-time major league thrower, went to the Royals with No. 2 pick. The White Sox used the No. 3 pick on Cal Masher, Andrew Vaughn. Rutschman, Witt and Vaughn are the top three of the best we've seen in recent drafts.
The entire MLB project covers 40 rounds – there were 100 of them before – and it is important to note that each team had a first round pick this year, with the exception of the Red Sox. Their first-round pick was dropped 10 places (# 33 to # 43) as part of the penalty for excessive luxury tax spending last season.
CBS Sports provided an instant analysis of the 30 first round selections Monday night, live at the time of the announcement selections. Here is a list of 32 choices for the first round of the 2018 project.
