2021 MLB draft order set by 2020 standings

MLB

The order for the 2021 MLB draft was made official, with teams picking in reverse order of their 2020 regular-season record, as usual.

There had been some mystery about the draft order as there was a provision in the March agreement between the league and players regarding the 2020 season that allowed commissioner Rob Manfred to adjust the order, but with the full 60-game schedule completed, no adjustments were made.

The draft is scheduled to be held July 11-13 in conjunction with the All-Star Game festivities.

Here is the order of selections for the first round, with the Houston Astros forfeiting their first two picks as punishment for their illegal sign stealing:

  • 1. Pittsburgh Pirates

  • 2. Texas Rangers

  • 3. Detroit Tigers

  • 4. Boston Red Sox

  • 5. Baltimore Orioles

  • 6. Arizona Diamondbacks

  • 7. Kansas City Royals

  • 8. Colorado Rockies

  • 9. Los Angeles Angels

  • 10. New York Mets

  • 11. Washington Nationals

  • 12. Seattle Mariners

  • 13. Philadelphia Phillies

  • 14. San Francisco Giants

  • 15. Milwaukee Brewers

  • 16. Miami Marlins

  • 17. Cincinnati Reds

  • 18. St. Louis Cardinals

  • 19. Toronto Blue Jays

  • 20. New York Yankees

  • 21. Chicago Cubs

  • 22. Chicago White Sox

  • 23. Cleveland Indians

  • 24. Atlanta Braves
