The 1991 Major League Baseball draft began 3 June 1991 to assign amateur baseball players to MLB teams. The draft order is the reverse order of the 1990 MLB season standings. In addition, compensation picks will be distributed for players who did not sign from the 1990 MLB Draft. The New York Yankees received the first overall selection.
Brien Taylor would become only the second top pick to fail to reach the major leagues, following Steve Chilcott of the 1966 draft.[1]
