Officially known as the "First-Year Player Draft",[1] the draft is MLB's primary mechanism for assigning amateur baseball players from high schools, colleges, and other amateur baseball clubs to its teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick.[1] In addition, teams that lost free agents in the previous off-season may be awarded compensatory or supplementary picks.[2]
