After 78 picks through two rounds plus Monday, Day 2 brings us rounds three through 10, with 236 picks in all on Tuesday. There were four-minute intervals in between picks on Monday, but now there is just one minute in between picks.
The remainder of the draft won’t be televised, but MLB.com will provide online coverage of the final two days, with Tuesday coverage beginning at 1 p.m. ET.
The first pick of the third round is No. 79 overall, the exact spot where current big leaguers DJ LeMahieu, Zack Cozart, and Derek Dietrich were selected. The best No. 79 pick ever has to be John Olerud, the two-time World Series champion who was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1989 out of Washington State.
Olreud hit .295/.398/.465, a 129 OPS+ in 17 years and amassed 58.2 Wins Above Replacement.
Others drafted between rounds three and 10 include Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (fifth round in 2011), Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (seventh round in 2006 by Cincinnati), and San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Jackson (eighth round in 2005 by the Yankees), to name a few.
