History

Historical Context

In 1990, Major League Baseball (MLB) introduced the minor league draft, revolutionizing player development. This shift followed earlier practices, such as Branch Rickey's farm system in the 1920s, which emphasized nurturing talent. Teams like the Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets have since focused on scouting, leading to the emergence of power hitters like Dylan Beavers and Bryce Eldridge, shaping modern strategies in the league.
