2024 MLB Draft Tracker

The 2024 MLB Draft Tracker is live.

The 2024 MLB Draft is now completed and here is the tracker of draft picks. This will keep track of who signs and for how much.

Here’s the details on the picks. Every pick in the first 10 rounds has an assigned slot value, with the total for each club’s slot value equaling what it can spend without a penalty. If a player in those rounds does not sign, his slot value gets subtracted from the team’s pool. Any player selected after the 10th round has a slot value of $150,000; anything over will count against the teams pool.

Teams that exceed their bonus pool are penalized. Clubs that exceed their allotment by 0-5% pay a 75% tax on the overage. Between 5-10%, teams lose a future first-round pick and are taxed 75%. Between 10-15%, teams lose a future first- and second-rounder with a 100% tax. Anything over 15% will cost a team 2 first-rounders and 100% tax.

Here’s the details on the tracker…

  • Tab A – Team Info: This lists the total picks, percentage sign, and pool information. I’ve added a column to track the amount of taxes a team is projected for pay on overages. Bolded teams have completed their signings.
  • Tab B – Picks: These are the actual picks with signing details.
  • Tab C – State Demo: A list of what state the player was from; this isn’t where their hometown is, but rather where they played at the last level.
  • Tab D – Position Demo: A list of what position all the players were taken from by team; there is a total column to see how many players were taken total from each position.
  • Tab E – School Level: This breaks down all the picks by the level of schooling they were selected from. I added info about grade level for college too, since this is important for bonuses. Sophomores have more leverage than seniors. 5Y is 5th year seniors and/or graduate students.

NOTE: Only the first 10 rounds are live right now; the rest should be updated in the next 24 hours. All 20 rounds are set.
