The 2024 Major League Baseball draft will take place in July 2024 in Arlington, Texas. The draft will assign amateur baseball players to MLB teams. The first six selections will be set via a lottery, with first round picks belonging to the remaining lottery participants set in reverse order of regular season winning percentage. To complete the first round, playoff teams will select in an order that combines postseason finish, revenue sharing status, and reverse order of winning percentage. Reverse order of regular season winning percentage and postseason finish will be used to set the draft order for rounds two through 20.[1]

The Arizona Diamondbacks were awarded a Prospect Promotion Incentive Pick after Corbin Carroll won the 2023 National League Rookie of the Year Award. The Baltimore Orioles also received a Prospect Promotion Incentive Pick after Gunnar Henderson won the 2023 American League Rookie of the Year Award.[2]

Draft lottery

The 2024 MLB Draft Lottery will take place on December 5, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee during the Winter Meetings.[3] The Washington Nationals are ineligible to participate in the lottery, as per a rule in the collective bargaining agreement between Major League Baseball and MLBPA that limits teams in larger markets from winning draft lottery picks in consecutive seasons.[4] The following table lists the percentage chances for each seed to receive lottery picks as a result of the draft lottery.

Draft selections

The Mets, Yankees, and Padres exceeded the surcharge tax threshold in 2023, meaning that each would have their first round draft pick moved back ten slots provided that they do not win a lottery pick. The listed order of teams in the first round is therefore subject to change until the completion of the draft lottery.[5]
