One of the many perks of having the top draft spot is having the first draft pick in every round. The team with the No. 1 pick also has the ability to snatch up stray players who slip through the cracks in the first round. Lance McCullers’ selection by the Astros in 2012 is a prominent success story of a team stealing a player with a selection far later than expected. Rated as the No. 13 player in the class by MLB.com that year, McCullers fell to the Astros with the 41st selection after they took Carlos Correa first overall.
