how many draft picks are there in baseball
How many of the nearly 900 players who signed out of this yearâs draft might we expect to see in the majors one day? If recent history is any guide, then that answer is roughly one in sixâor, to be precise, 17.2 percent of signed draft picks. Baseball America arrived at that number by analyzing the 22 drafts from 1987 through 2008, noting the number of signed players who reached the big leagues for at least one game.
