FAQ
If chosen in the Rule 5 draft, a player must be kept on the selecting team's major league active roster for the entire season that follows the draft—the player may not be optioned or designated to the minors. The selecting team may, at any time, waive the Rule 5 draftee.
The MLB Draft, also known as the First-Year Player Draft, typically takes place in June or July. It consists of 20 rounds, with each of the 30 MLB teams receiving one pick per round, totaling 600 picks. The draft order is determined by the previous season's standings, with the team with the worst record picking first.
Held each December, the Rule 5 Draft allows clubs without a full 40-man roster to select certain non-40-man roster players from other clubs. Clubs draft in reverse order of the standings from the previous season.
Rule 5 of the Professional Baseball Agreement provides for a draft involving players already under contract to a Major League affiliate. (This is in contrast to the Rule 4 Draft for players who have not previously signed a Major or Minor League Contract.)
Definition. Held each December, the Rule 5 Draft allows clubs without a full 40-man roster to select certain non-40-man roster players from other clubs. Clubs draft in reverse order of the standings from the previous season.
Players who have graduated high school but not attended college are eligible for the draft, as are those who have completed at least one year of junior college. Players attending four-year colleges are eligible to be drafted upon completing their junior year or turning 21 years old.
Over the years, the MLB draft has ebbed and flowed with the number of rounds but in 2024 the MLB draft consists of 20 rounds. Teams are awarded their draft slot through a lottery unless the team made the playoffs in the previous year. If a team makes the playoffs, they are slotted into the draft based on their finish.
Who Is Eligible For The Rule 5 Draft? Any player not added to a team's 40-man roster is eligible if they meet the following criteria: They signed at 18 years or younger and have played five professional seasons. They signed at 19 years or older and have played four professional seasons.
Players on an organization's 40-man roster are protected from the Rule 5 Draft. To be eligible for selection, a player must either have spent four seasons in professional baseball after signing at age 19 or older, or spent five seasons in pro ball after signing at 18 or younger (as of June 5 of that year).
Player Eligibility To be eligible for the draft, players must have been out of high school for at least three years and must have used up their college eligibility before the start of the next college football season.
