Below, find the draft order, as well as slot values for each pick & bonus pools for all 30 teams.
This is the fifth time the Pittsburgh Pirates have selected first overall. Their most recent No. 1 pick was righthander Gerrit Cole out of UCLA in 2011. They also selected righthander Bryan Bullington No. 1 in 2002; righthander Kris Benson in 1996 and third baseman Jeff King in 1986.
The Texas Rangers, who pick second, have not selected this high since 1974, when they picked righthander Tommy Boggs. The Rangers only other picks at two or higher were in 1973, when they selected lefthander David Clyde first overall, and 1969 when the then Washington Senators selected outfielder Jeff Burroughs at pick No. 2.
Picking fourth, the Boston Red Sox will be selecting higher than they have in more than 50 years. In 1967, Boston selected righthander Mike Garman with the third pick. The only time the Red Sox picked fourth was in 1966, when they selected lefthander Ken Brett.
Here is the order for the first and second rounds. The Astros were stripped of their first and second round picks as part of the punishment for their sign-stealing scandal.
