History

Historical Context

Major League Baseball established the amateur draft in 1965 to create a fairer recruitment process, preventing wealthier teams from monopolizing top talent. By 1975, this system had evolved, allowing teams like the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox to select promising players. The 2025 MLB Draft League season, which advanced 11 players to Minor League Baseball, highlights the draft's lasting impact on player development and scouting.
