Background

Only three times in MLB history has the No. 1 overall pick failed to sign. The first was catcher Danny Goodwin in 1971, as he opted to attend Southern University. He would go on to be taken No. 1 overall again in 1975.

Then there was pitcher Tim Belcher, who spurned the Minnesota Twins in 1983 and wound up with the Oakland Athletics after being taken No.
