Major League Baseball's annual amateur draft has arrived. The two-day event begins Wednesday night and it will be broadcast on multiple networks for the first time ever. A total of 37 picks will be made Wednesday. The remaining 123 picks of the five-round draft will be made Thursday. MLB shortened the draft from 40 rounds to five rounds this year in a cost-cutting move amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here is our final mock and here are the broadcast details for Day 1 of the 2020 MLB draft:
- Date: Wednesday, June 10
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: MLB Network and ESPN
- Streaming: MLB.com
- Picks: 1-37 (Rounds: 1st, Competitive Balance Round A)
Thanks to their 114-loss regular season in 2019, the Detroit Tigers hold the No. 1 pick in this year's draft. It is the third time the Tigers have held the No. 1 pick. They selected Rice closer Matt Anderson with the top pick in 1997 and Auburn righty Casey Mize with the top pick in 2018. Mize is now one of the top prospects in the game.
The Houston Astros forfeited their first- and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 drafts as part of their punishment for the sign-stealing scandal, so there are only 29 selections in this year's first round. The Boston Red Sox forfeited only their second-round pick in this year's draft as part of the punishment for their sign-stealing scandal.
We here at CBS Sports will provide instant analysis of all 29 first-round picks Wednesday, live as the selections are announced. Here is our breakdown of all 29 first-round picks in the 2020 draft. Make sure to refresh for updates throughout the night.
