The picks are in! In real time we selected 15 rounds, one by one once again in 2023. Originally created five years ago, Draft HQ has selected prospects every year since 2018.

After making our picks with the 15th overall pool of $8.46M in 2018, 10th overall pool ($10.3M) in 2019, 20th/($6.65M) in 2020, 5th/$11.83M in 2021 and 25th/$6.84M in 2022, it was our turn for the highest bonus pool this time around at $16.185M. We picked in real time with the Pirates. 

Again, it's important to note that each of our picks were made in real time as the draft is taking place. This is not a mock or a post-draft of best available. It's also important to note the challenge we have selecting players without knowing their signability. We may think they will sign, but without a phone call and an offer (neither of which we do, or can do) we never know for sure who will be selected and signed.

This lack of insider information cost us dearly in 2021 when we selected Kumar Rocker in the 1st round. He did not sign after being selected th overall by the Mets, costing both a highly-valued prospect, along with the entire assigned pick value. Similarily, our 8th round pick of 2021, Austin Krob, did not sign, costing us two of our top ten overall selections.
