The MLB First-Year Player Draft will look different in 2021 as Major League Baseball seeks to improve the visibility and efficiency of the draft process. New dates and events leading up to the big day will potentially elevate the MLB Draft’s visibility as news-worthy programming. Mixed in with the recent news about the event, several mock drafts have started coming out and they can help us get a feel for the type of players that scouts and evaluators see the Yankees taking.
Traditionally occurring in early June, the MLB Draft is now set for July 11-13 in conjunction with the MLB All-Star break.
