The 2024 MLB draft is fast approaching, with the festivities scheduled to begin on July 14 during All-Star weekend. And leading up to this year's event, we're going to be taking a look back at recent draft classes.

Ahead is a deep dive into each team's best selection of the 2014 draft. Each team's best pick is chosen based on their overall accomplishments in the big leagues, not just what they did during their time with the team that drafted them. For example, Trea Turner is the pick for the San Diego Padres, even though he was traded before making his MLB debut.

Only players who signed are eligible, so guys such as Tanner Houck, Joe Ryan and Paul DeJong who were selected but honored their college commitments will be included down the road as part of the draft class when they did sign.

Finally, this draft rewind wraps up with a full 2014 first-round redraft to give an idea of what the board might have looked like with the benefit of hindsight.

Arizona Diamondbacks: RHP Touki Toussaint

Drafted: 1st round, No. 16 overall

Touki Toussaint did not start playing baseball until he was a teenager, and he was still 17 years old on draft day, so he brought one of the highest ceilings of any prospect in the 2014 draft class.

The 28-year-old was still pitching in the big leagues as recently as last season, but he has never found significant MLB success, posting a 5.21 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 266 strikeouts in 257.1 innings. He is currently pitching for the Chicago White Sox Triple-A affiliate.

Other Notable Picks: OF Marcus Wilson (2-69), 2B Isan Díaz (2-70), LHP Zac Curtis (6-180), 1B Kevin Cron (14-420)

Atlanta Braves: RHP Jacob Webb

Drafted: 18th round, No. 553 overall

Right-hander Jacob Webb posted a 1.39 ERA in 36 appearances with the Atlanta Braves as a rookie in 2019, but injuries limited him to eight games during the shortened 2020 season and he spent 2021 bouncing between Triple-A and the majors.

He split the 2023 season with the Angels and Orioles, and he is having the best season of his career in Baltimore this year, posting a 2.83 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 9.0 K/9 with two saves and six holds in 38 games.

Other Notable Picks: RHP Max Povse (3-102), RHP Chad Sobotka (4-133)

Baltimore Orioles: LHP John Means

Drafted: 11th round, No. 331 overall

Left-hander John Means was one of the few bright spots on a 108-loss Orioles team in 2019, going 12-11 with a 3.60 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 121 strikeouts in 155 innings to finish runner-up in AL Rookie of the Year voting and earn an All-Star selection.

Unfortunately, injuries have limited him to just 46 starts and 242.2 innings in the years since that breakout performance, and he is on the shelf once again after undergoing Tommy John surgery for the second time on June 3. The 31-year-old will be a free agent for the first time this winter.

Other Notable Picks: RHP David Hess (5-151), LHP Tanner Scott (6-181), IF Stevie Wilkerson (8-241)

Boston Red Sox: LHP Jalen Beeks

Drafted: 12th round, No. 374 overall

Jalen Beeks made just two appearances as a member of the Red Sox before he was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays at the 2018 deadline in a one-for-one swap that brought postseason hero Nathan Eovaldi to Boston for the team's World Series run.

The southpaw posted a 4.18 ERA in 129 appearances with the Rays over five seasons before he was claimed off waivers by the Colorado Rockies this past offseason. The 30-year-old has a 3.76 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and six saves over 34 appearances in 2024.

Other Notable Picks: IF Michael Chavis (1-26), RHP Michael Kopech (1-33), 1B Sam Travis (2-67), RHP Chandler Shepherd (13-404)

Chicago Cubs: OF Kyle Schwarber

Drafted: 1st round, No. 4 overall

Originally drafted as a catcher, Kyle Schwarber hit .358/.464/.660 with 16 doubles, 14 home runs and 48 RBI in 59 games during his junior season at the University of Indiana.

He played just 130 games in the minors before making his MLB debut on June 16, 2015, and posted a 130 OPS+ with 16 home runs in 69 games as a rookie. A gruesome knee injury cost him almost the entire 2016 regular season, but he returned in the World Series to help lead the Cubs to a long-awaited title.

He went on to slug 121 home runs in six seasons with the Cubs, and he is now in the third season of a four-year, $79 million deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. The 31-year-old has a 122 OPS+ with 263 home runs and 13.7 WAR in 10 seasons.

Other Notable Picks: C Mark Zagunis (3-78), LHP Justin Steele (5-139), RHP Dylan Cease (6-169), RHP James Norwood (7-199), 3B Jason Volser (16-469)

Chicago White Sox: LHP Carlos Rodón

Drafted: 1st round, No. 3 overall

Left-hander Carlos Rodón was one of the leading candidates to go No. 1 overall in the 2014 draft before an inconsistent junior season at NC State, though he still finished with a 2.01 ERA and 117 strikeouts in 98.2 innings that spring before going No. 3 overall.

Injuries have been a recurring issue throughout his career, but he finally broke out in his final season with the White Sox in 2021 and backed it up with a strong two-year run in San Francisco. He is now two years into a six-year, $162 million deal with the New York Yankees.

With a 3.82 ERA and 85 holds in 316 career appearances, sinkerballer Aaron Bummer also deserves a quick mention as one of the best late-round steals in this class.

Other Notable Picks: LHP Jace Fry (3-77), RHP Zach Thompson (5-138), LHP Tanner Banks (18-528), LHP Aaron Bummer (19-558)

Cincinnati Reds: RHP Tejay Antone

Drafted: 5th round, No. 155 overall

Tejay Antone looked like a budding star in the Cincinnati Reds bullpen when he posted a 2.48 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 11.3 K/9 in 36 appearances during the 2020 and 2021 seasons, but he missed the entire 2022 season recovering from Tommy John surgery.

He was again slowed by arm issues in 2023, making just five appearances all year, and he pitched in four games this season before again landing on the shelf and undergoing an internal brace procedure on his elbow.

Other Notable Picks: IF Alex Blandino (1-29), 1B Brian O'Grady (8-245), LHP Brennan Bernardino (26-785)

Cleveland Guardians: OF Bradley Zimmer

Drafted: 1st round, No. 21 overall

Outfielder Bradley Zimmer is the younger brother of pitcher Kyle Zimmer, who was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2012 draft, and he established himself as one of the best college bats in the country when he hit .368/.461/.573 with 24 extra-base hits and 21 steals during his junior year at the University of San Francisco.

His big league career got off to a promising start when he posted a 1.6-WAR rookie season in 2017 for a Cleveland squad coming off a trip to the World Series, but he spent the rest of his career as a journeyman.

Other Notable Picks: LHP Justus Sheffield (1-31), 1B Bobby Bradley (3-97), LHP Sam Hentges (4-128), RHP Julian Merryweather (5-158), OF Greg Allen (6-188), RHP J.P. Feyereisen (16-488), RHP Cam Hill (17-518)

Colorado Rockies: LHP Kyle Freeland

Drafted: 1st round, No. 8 overall

Kyle Freeland got off to arguably the best start to his career of any pitcher in Colorado Rockies history, going 11-11 with a 4.10 ERA in 156 innings to finish seventh in 2017 NL Rookie of the Year balloting. He followed that up with a 17-7 record, 2.85 ERA and a staggering 7.7 WAR in 202.1 innings to finish fourth in the 2018 NL Cy Young vote.

That 2018 campaign still stands as his peak, but he ranks among the franchise's all-time leaders in pitcher WAR (17.1, second), wins (55, seventh), strikeouts (748, sixth) and innings pitched (1,006, fifth).

Only Aaron Nola (33.1 WAR) and Brandon Woodruff (17.4 WAR) have logged more career WAR among pitchers from the 2014 draft class.

Other Notable Picks: OF Forrest Wall (1-35), RHP Ryan Castellani (2-48), LHP Sam Howard (3-82), 3B Kevin Padlo (5-143), LHP Harrison Musgrave (8-233), LHP Jerry Vasto (24-713)

Detroit Tigers: RHP Spencer Turnbull

Drafted: 2nd round, No. 63 overall

In his first full season in the Detroit Tigers rotation in 2019, Spencer Turnbull posted a solid 4.61 ERA with 146 strikeouts and 2.5 WAR in 148.1 innings, but he finished with an ugly 3-17 record in 30 starts.

Injuries limited him to 286 total innings over the next five years and he was non-tendered at the start of the offseason, landing with the Philadelphia Phillies on a one-year, $2 million deal. The 31-year-old has a 2.65 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 58 strikeouts in 54.1 innings this year spanning seven starts and 10 relief appearances, but he recently landed on the injured list with a lat strain that could cost him more than a month.

Other Notable Picks: OF Derek Hill (1-23), C Grayson Greiner (3-99), RHP Artie Lewicki (8-250), RHP A.J. Ladwig (11-340), OF Mike Gerber (16-460), RHP Spenser Watkins (30-910), LHP Locke St. John (32-970)

Houston Astros: OF Ramón Laureano

Drafted: 16th round, No. 466 overall

The Houston Astros selected prep left-hander Brady Aiken with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 draft, but he did not sign after his bonus offer was dropped from $6.5 million to $5 million when his post-draft physical revealed elbow inflammation.

He ended up enrolling at IMG Academy, and in the first inning of his first start he exited with elbow soreness and ultimately underwent Tommy John surgery. The Astros received the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 draft as compensation for him not signing, and selected Alex Bregman.

As for their best pick in 2014, outfielder Ramón Laureano was traded to the Athletics for pitcher Brandon Bailey before he made his MLB debut, but he went on to tally 11.9 WAR over six seasons in Oakland. He is currently playing for the Atlanta Braves.

Other Notable Picks: OF Derek Fisher (1-37), 1B A.J. Reed (2-42), 3B J.D. Davis (3-75), RHP Daniel Mengden (4-106), RHP Dean Deetz (11-316), RHP Ryan Thompson (23-676), RHP Josh James (34-1,006)

Kansas City Royals: 1B/OF Ryan O'Hearn

Drafted: 8th round, No. 243 overall

First things first, left-hander Brandon Finnegan deserves a mention for being the only player in history to appear in the College World Series and MLB World Series in the same year, as he was the first 2014 draft pick to reach the majors. He was flipped to the Cincinnati Reds in the Johnny Cueto deal the following year, which helped the Kansas City Royals secure a title.

Ryan O'Hearn hit .219/.293/.390 for an 83 OPS+ in 1,071 plate appearances with the Royals, but he has found considerable success since joining the Baltimore Orioles, and he has a 134 OPS+ with 10 home runs and 33 RBI so far this season.

Shoutout to lefty reliever Tim Hill, who was a 32nd-round pick and leads all 2014 selections with 350 career appearances.

Other Notable Picks: LHP Brandon Finnegan (1-17), LHP Foster Griffin (1-28), RHP Scott Blewett (2-56), LHP Eric Skoglund (3-92), LHP Eric Stout (13-393), LHP Tim Hill (32-963)

Los Angeles Angels: LHP Sean Newcomb

Drafted: 1st round, No. 15 overall

The Los Angeles Angels used 2014 draft picks Sean Newcomb (No. 15 overall) and Chris Ellis (No. 88 overall) along with veteran Erick Aybar to acquire shortstop Andrelton Simmons prior to the 2016 season, and he went on to pile up 20.0 WAR in five seasons with the team.

Neither pitcher found much MLB success, though Newcomb was a solid member of the Atlanta rotation in 2018 when he finished 12-9 with a 3.90 ERA and 160 strikeouts in 164 innings over 30 starts. The 31-year-old is currently working out of the bullpen for the Oakland Athletics.

Other Notable Picks: RHP Chris Ellis (3-88), RHP Jake Jewell (5-149), RHP Justin Anderson (14-419), LHP Greg Mahle (15-449), LHP Adam McCreery (22-659)

Los Angeles Dodgers: OF Alex Verdugo

Drafted: 2nd round, No. 62 overall

Outfielder Alex Verdugo was an elite-level prospect throughout his time in the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system, making four straight appearances on the Baseball America Top 100 list and peaking at No. 35 prior to the 2019 season.

Ultimately, his biggest contribution to the Dodgers was being the centerpiece in the blockbuster deal to acquire Mookie Betts from the Boston Red Sox prior to the 2020 season. Now playing for the New York Yankees, he has a 104 OPS+ and 12.1 WAR in his career, and he is set to reach free agency for the first time this winter.

Left-hander Caleb Ferguson was the latest pick from the 2014 class to reach the majors, and he has a 3.69 ERA and 10.7 K/9 in 233 career appearances.

Other Notable Picks: RHP Grant Holmes (1-22), RHP Jeff Brigham (4-129), RHP Brock Stewart (6-189), RHP Trevor Oaks (7-219), RHP Bubby Rossman (22-669), LHP Caleb Ferguson (38-1,149)

Miami Marlins: 3B/OF Brian Anderson

Drafted: 3rd round, No. 76 overall

The Miami Marlins took hard-throwing prep right-hander Tyler Kolek with the No. 2 overall pick, and he serves as yet another cautionary tale of the risk surrounding the high school righty profile. He posted a 5.66 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with 124 walks in 163.2 innings in the minors before calling it a career after the 2019 season, never advancing beyond the Single-A level.

Brian Anderson logged back-to-back 3-WAR seasons in 2018 and 2019 while splitting his time between third base and right field, and he posted a 105 OPS+ and 9.4 WAR in six seasons in Miami.

Other Notable Picks: OF Stone Garrett (8-227), LHP Dillon Peters (10-287), RHP Connor Overton (15-437), RHP Jordan Holloway (20-587)

Milwaukee Brewers: RHP Brandon Woodruff

Drafted: 11th round, No. 326 overall

Brandon Woodruff struggled to a 6.75 ERA and 1.93 WHIP with 25 walks and 29 strikeouts in 37.1 innings during his junior season at Mississippi State, and his predraft scouting report notes that he will "likely be a reliever in pro ball" following his inconsistent college career.

A decade later, he is undoubtedly one of the best pitchers to emerge from the 2014 class with a 3.10 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 788 strikeouts in 680.1 innings. The 31-year-old is a two-time All-Star, and while he is currently recovering from shoulder surgery, he is a frontline starter when healthy.

Outfielder Monte Harrison (No. 50 overall) and right-hander Jordan Yamamoto (No. 356 overall) were both part of the trade package used to acquire Christian Yelich from the Miami Marlins prior to the 2018 season.

Other Notable Picks: OF Monte Harrison (2-50), RHP Cy Sneed (3-85), OF Troy Stokes Jr. (4-116), RHP Jordan Yamamoto (12-356)

Minnesota Twins: RHP John Curtiss

Drafted: 6th round, No. 170 overall

After serving as closer at the University of Texas, right-hander John Curtiss quickly became one of the better relief pitching prospects in baseball during his time in the Minnesota Twins system, looking like the potential closer of the future.

The 31-year-old has bounced around during his seven seasons in the big leagues, spending time with the Twins, Angels, Rays, Marlins, Brewers and Mets before landing with the Rockies this season. He has a 3.97 ERA and 8.7 K/9 in 92 career appearances.

Other Notable Picks: IF/OF Nick Gordon (1-5), RHP Nick Burdi (2-46), LHP Sam Clay (4-110), RHP Jake Reed (5-140), RHP Trevor Hildenberger (25-740)

New York Mets: OF Michael Conforto

Drafted: 1st round, No. 10 overall

A three-year starter at Oregon State, outfielder Michael Conforto hit .345/.504/.547 during his junior season, and he was the second college hitter off the board after Kyle Schwarber went No. 4 overall to the Chicago Cubs.

He debuted in 2015 and helped the New York Mets reach the World Series before settling in as a fixture in the middle of the lineup. He had a 33-homer, 92-RBI campaign in 2019 and all told posted a 124 OPS+ with 132 home runs and 15.6 WAR in seven seasons with the team before leaving in free agency.

His two-year, $36 million deal with the San Francisco Giants has not yielded the same results, and he will be a free agent again this coming offseason.

Other Notable Picks: LHP Brad Wieck (7-205)

New York Yankees: LHP Jordan Montgomery

Drafted: 4th round, No. 122 overall

The New York Yankees did not have a first-round pick in the 2014 draft after signing Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltrán in free agency, but they managed to find one of the best pitchers in the draft class in Jordan Montgomery in the fourth round.

The left-hander went 8-5 with a 3.42 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 95 strikeouts in 100 innings during his junior year at South Carolina, and while he was never a top prospect, he developed into a solid rotation piece with a 3.94 ERA in 502.2 innings.

The Yankees traded him to the St. Louis Cardinals at the 2022 deadline, and he was on the move again last summer when he joined a World Series-bound Texas Rangers team. He is off to a rocky start this year, but remains one of the most accomplished pitchers of the 2014 class.

Other Notable Picks: LHP Jacob Lindgren (2-55), RHP Jonathan Holder (6-182), OF Mark Payton (7-212), 1B Chris Gittens (12-362), RHP Joe Harvey (19-572), RHP Matt Wotherspoon (34-1,022)

Oakland Athletics: 3B Matt Chapman

Drafted: 1st round, No. 25 overall

Two years after drafting Matt Olson in the first round of the 2012 draft, the Oakland Athletics found their other starting corner infielder in Cal State Fullerton third baseman Matt Chapman.

He hit just 13 home runs in 162 college games, but with an elite glove and plenty of raw power to tap into, he offered as much upside as any college hitter in the draft.

The 31-year-old has gone on to post a 117 OPS+ with 164 home runs in eight seasons, winning four Gold Glove Awards along the way while piling up 34.1 WAR for his career. Still going strong in his first year with the San Francisco Giants, he will go down as one of the best third basemen of this era.

Other Notable Picks: RHP Daniel Gossett (2-65), RHP Brett Graves (3-101), RHP Heath Fillmyer (5-162), 1B John Nogowski (34-1,032)

Philadelphia Phillies: RHP Aaron Nola

Drafted: 1st round, No. 7 overall

Aaron Nola was a Golden Spikes finalist during his junior season at LSU, going 11-1 with a 1.47 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 134 strikeouts in 116.1 innings, and he was viewed as arguably the safest pick in the 2014 class.

He made his MLB debut midway through the 2015 season, and he has been a staple in the Philadelphia rotation ever since. The 31-year-old inked a seven-year, $172 million deal to stay with the team this past offseason, and he will steadily climb the franchise leaderboards in the coming years.

With 10 big league seasons under his belt, he ranks among the club's all-time leaders in pitcher WAR (33.4, sixth), wins (99, ninth) and strikeouts (1,672, fourth).

Other Notable Picks: 1B Rhys Hoskins (5-142), LHP Brandon Leibrandt (6-172), LHP Austin Davis (12-352)

Pittsburgh Pirates: RHP Mitch Keller

Drafted: 2nd round, No. 64 overall

It took Mitch Keller some time to find his footing in the big leagues, and he took his lumps in 2019 (11 GS, 7.13 ERA, 48.0 IP) and 2021 (23 GS, 6.17 ERA, 100.2 IP), but he has come out the other side one of the best homegrown starters in recent Pittsburgh Pirates history.

The 28-year-old has a 3.89 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 439 strikeouts in 451.2 innings since the start of the 2022 season, and the Pirates locked him up with a five-year, $77 million extension during the offseason.

He was an All-Star for the first time last year, and he has been Pittsburgh's Opening Day starter each of the past two seasons.

Other Notable Picks: SS Cole Tucker (1-24), 1B/OF Connor Joe (1-39), OF Jordan Luplow (3-100), C Taylor Gushue (4-131), RHP Alex McRae (10-311), RHP Montana DuRapau (32-971)

San Diego Padres: SS Trea Turner

Drafted: 1st round, No. 13 overall

In case you don't remember Trea Turner's brief stint with the San Diego Padres, it was enough to spark a rule change across Major League Baseball.

The Padres, Nationals and Rays agreed to a three-team, 11-player deal on Dec. 19, 2014, with Turner unofficially the "player to be named" heading from San Diego to Washington in that transaction. Rules at the time stated that a player could not be traded until one calendar year after he was drafted, so Turner spent the first half of the 2015 season playing in the San Diego system, even though it was universally known he would be sent to the Nationals on June 14, 2015 which was one year after the date he signed. If he had gotten injured in the interim, it would have thrown the entire trade into flux.

That rule has since been revised and Turner has since developed into one of the best shortstops in baseball and a superstar-caliber player with the Nationals, Dodgers and Phillies.

Other Notable Picks: LHP Kyle McGrath (36-1,077)

San Francisco Giants: RHP Logan Webb

Drafted: 4th round, No. 118 overall

The San Francisco Giants used an enviable homegrown rotation of Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner to win three World Series titles in a span of five years, but the well ran dry for a stretch of time after that trio arrived on the scene.

Logan Webb is hands down the team's best homegrown pitcher since that trio, and he has steadily developed into the workhorse ace of the staff in San Francisco. The 27-year-old posted a 3.25 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 194 strikeouts in a MLB-leading 216 innings last year, and he is making a strong case once again for a long-overdue first All-Star nod this season.

The Giants signed him to a five-year, $90 million extension in April.

Other Notable Picks: RHP Tyler Beede (1-14), C Aramis Garcia (2-52), RHP Sam Coonrod (5-148), OF Austin Slater (8-238), LHP Matt Gage (10-298)

Seattle Mariners: LHP Ryan Yarbrough

Drafted: 4th round, No. 111 overall

The Mariners and Rays have been frequent trade partners over the years, and left-hander Ryan Yarbrough was sent to Tampa Bay along with Mallex Smith and Carlos Vargas in exchange for Drew Smyly prior to the 2017 season and before Yarbrough made his MLB debut.

As a rookie in 2018, he went 16-6 with a 3.91 ERA in 147.1 innings, though he only made six starts as he was one of the first examples of a "bulk reliever" pitching behind an opener in the early days of that experiment.

The 32-year-old has carved out a rock solid career serving in that swingman role, posting a 4.28 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 718.2 innings spanning 68 starts and 105 relief appearances for the Rays, Royals and Dodgers.

Other Notable Picks: C Alex Jackson (1-6), RHP Dan Altavilla (5-141), RHP Vinny Nittoli (25-741)

St. Louis Cardinals: RHP Jack Flaherty

Drafted: 1st round, No. 34 overall

Jack Flaherty finished fifth in 2018 NL Rookie of the Year balloting, then followed that up by going 11-8 with a 2.75 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 231 strikeouts in 196.1 innings to check in fourth in 2019 NL Cy Young voting.

It looked like the St. Louis Cardinals had a budding ace atop the rotation, but instead injuries limited him to 154.2 total innings in the three years that followed. After a healthy but inconsistent 2023 campaign, he has bounced back in a big way for the Detroit Tigers this season playing on a one-year deal, posting a 3.24 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 115 strikeouts in 89 innings.

This draft haul also helped the Cardinals acquire Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt, as Austin Gomber and Luke Weaver were key pieces of the trade packages to acquire those two stars.

Other Notable Picks: RHP Luke Weaver (1-27), LHP Austin Gomber (4-135), C Brian O'Keefe (7-225), RHP Daniel Ponce De Leon (9-285)

Tampa Bay Rays: LHP Brock Burke

Drafted: 3rd round, No. 96 overall

The Tampa Bay Rays traded Brock Burke to the Texas Rangers in the three-team deal that sent Jurickson Profar to Oakland and Emilio Pagan to Tampa Bay prior to the 2019 season, and he made his MLB debut later that summer.

After missing the 2020 season with a torn labrum in his left shoulder, he returned to action in 2021 as one of the best relievers in baseball, posting a 1.97 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 90 strikeouts in 82.1 innings. He has yet to replicate that level of success, but that 2.1-WAR campaign is enough to make him Tampa Bay's best 2014 pick.

Other Notable Picks: RHP Brent Honeywell Jr. (2-72), OF Braxton Lee (12-367), LHP Kyle Bird (35-1,057)

Texas Rangers: C Jose Trevino

Drafted: 6th round, No. 186 overall

Originally drafted as a third baseman, Jose Trevino has since developed into one of the best defensive catchers in baseball, winning Gold Glove and Platinum Glove honors with the New York Yankees in 2022.

The 31-year-old is hitting .247/.303/.407 with eight home runs and 25 RBI in 52 games this season, and with top prospect Austin Wells off to a slow start in the big leagues, he will continue to serve as the team's primary backstop.

Other Notable Picks: RHP Luis Ortiz (1-30), LHP Brett Martin (4-126), LHP Wes Benjamin (5-156), RHP Erik Swanson (8-246), RHP Reed Garrett (16-486)

Toronto Blue Jays: RHP Jordan Romano

Drafted: 10th round, No. 294 overall

The Toronto Blue Jays briefly lost Jordan Romano in the 2018 Rule 5 draft when he was chosen by the Chicago White Sox and then traded to the Texas Rangers for cash considerations, but he was returned to Toronto when he didn't make the Rangers Opening Day roster.

By the 2021 season, he was closing games for the Blue Jays.

An All-Star in 2022 and 2023, he has a 2.90 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 11.2 K/9 with 105 saves in 231 appearances, and while he is currently on the mend from shoulder inflammation, he could be a hot commodity at the trade deadline if the Blue Jays decide to sell aggressively.

Other Notable Picks: RHP Jeff Hoffman (1-9), RHP Sean Reid-Foley (2-49), OF Lane Thomas (5-144), RHP Justin Shafer (8-234), 1B Ryan McBroom (15-444)

Washington Nationals: RHP Erick Fedde

Drafted: 1st round, No. 18 overall

Erick Fedde never found consistent success as a member of the Washington Nationals, posting a 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 454.1 innings over six seasons before spending the 2023 season pitching for the NC Dinos in the KBO.

That year overseas now looks like a turning point in his career, as he went 20-6 with a 2.00 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 209 strikeouts in 180.1 innings to win the equivalent of KBO Cy Young and MVP honors.

The 31-year-old turned that performance into a two-year, $15 million deal from the Chicago White Sox, and he has a 3.23 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 91 strikeouts in 100.1 innings in his return stateside. With a team-friendly $7.5 million salary for next year, he will be one of the most sought after arms on the summer trade market.

Other Notable Picks: C Jakson Reetz (3-93), RHP Austen Williams (6-184), RHP James Bourque (14-424)
