Question about MLB Draft
Posted on 7/9/23 at 6:45 pm

All the picks have been college/high school players from the US, however there are a ton of MLB players from other countries. How exactly do they get into the league if they’re not in the draft?

Free agency

Only players from the US, Canada, or US territories (like Puerto Rico) are eligible for the draft.

From 08 bc we all I know I don’t know this shite:

the foreign kids are already in the minor league. They get drafted at a much younger age, like 13 years old, and never go to college or high school in the USA

Kind of a dumb system

Ball clubs just sign them. The Reds signed Elly Del A Cruz at 16 from the Dominican Republic. I believe for $65,000.

There is an international signing period

Yeah what Lester said. It can become a bidding war. I remember the Reds won the Aroldis Chapman sweepstakes.
