Dodgers Draft: Best compensatory picks in franchise history

The Los Angeles Dodgers have six picks in the truncated 2020 MLB amateur draft, including a supplemental pick from the trade that sent Kenta Maeda to Minnesota for pitcher Brusdar Graterol. The “Competitive Balance Round B” pick is slotted 66th overall.

As we approach the draft on June 10-11, I thought it would be interesting to review the best players selected by the Dodgers using a Competitive Balance or compensatory draft pick.

As part of recent Collective Bargaining Agreements, inserted between the early rounds of the MLB draft, there are two Competitive Balance Rounds which are comprised of picks awarded to teams based on their market size and revenue, as explained by MLB.
