The 2018 MLB Draft is set for June 4-6, beginning Monday at 4 p.m. PT on MLB Network. The first day of the draft will see picks made in the first round, supplemental first round, competitive balance round A, and second rounds. However, only the first round will air nationally on MLB Network.
After that, the 2018 Draft can be streamed online at MLB.com, beginning at 10 a.m. on Tuesday and 9 a.m. Wednesday. By virtue of finishing with the best record in 2017, the Los Angeles Dodgers don’t pick in the 2018 MLB Draft until the final selection in the first round.
The No. 30 overall pick comes with a $2,275,800 slot value. The Detroit Tigers hold the first pick in the draft for only a second time in franchise history.
They selected Matt Anderson out of Rice University when they last were in this position (1997). The San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds round out the top five picks in the 2018 MLB Draft.
The Dodgers have just shy of $5.3 million in bonus pool money, which is used to sign draft picks through the first 10 rounds.
