The MLB Draft is much different than any other sports draft. For one, there’s a whopping 40 rounds and over 1,000 guys could hear their name called. That’s the biggest difference.

It’s also interesting because players can be drafted out of high school or out of college. The Kansas City Royals mostly fixated on adding collegiate talent, but they did add a few high schoolers. Yes, only a few.
