2021 Major League Baseball draft
The 2021 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft will take place in June 2021. The draft will assign amateur baseball players to MLB teams. The draft order will be set based on the reverse order of the 2020 MLB season standings. In addition, compensation picks will be distributed for players who did not sign from the 2020 MLB Draft and for teams who lose qualifying free agents.[1] On March 26, 2020, MLB and the MLBPA reached a deal that included the option to shorten the draft to 20 rounds due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
