Reviewing the 10th overall pick of the draft

Since the Rule 4 Draft was instituted in 1965, 45 of the 55 selected with the 10th overall pick have gone on to make a major league debut. Of those players, twenty-seven produced positive value for their team. Many of those players went on to have outstanding careers, most notably Mark McGwire, Robin Ventura, Ted Simmons, Ben Sheets, and Tim Lincecum, among others.

Michael Conforto

Thanks to their 74-88 record in 2013, the Mets had the tenth overall selection in the 2014 MLB Draft. With their pick, they selected Michael Conforto, an outfielder from Oregon State University.
