2023 MLB Draft Tracker

The 2023 MLB Draft Tracker

Here’s all the picks, along with signing demographics and bonus info.

Here is the 2023 MLB Draft Tracker (I wanted to get this live last week, but a family vacation made it impossible). Below is all 20 rounds of the draft and many demographics.

Tab 1 (Team Info) lists the overall team draft numbers – total picks, how many have signed, and spending amounts. This year I broke out rounds 1-10 and 11-20; I did this to just make it easier for myself, but it does show how much is being added to the pool in late round over-spending. If a team spends over $150k on picks between rounds 11 and 20, that overage is included in the bonus pool they’ve spent.

As always, I created columns for the pool plus 5%; a team can go over 5% of their pool with only paying a tax. Any spending over 5% will include the tax and loss of future picks. All overages are in Red cells.

Tab 2 (Picks) are the individual picks and signings. I’ve slacked a little on the non-drafted free agents; I’ll be adding them to the bottom with any bonus reports.

Tabs 3-5 are draft demographics; picks by state, position, and school level. For position and school, there are 2 tables: the actual amounts and the percentage of each drafted.

The deadline to sign is August 1st (5 PM CST).

All figures in Millions ($1.0000 is $1,000,000). A few of the bonuses haven’t been reported yet; those are left blank for now until a number comes out (this only really impacts rounds 1-10).

Notes on picks:
