2024 MLB draft tracker live updates: Picks and analysis
The 2024 MLB draft kicks off at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, as the Cleveland Guardians have the honor of making the first overall pick.
There is speculation about whether the Guardians will choose one of the SEC power hitters (such as Georgia’s Charlie Condon or Florida’s Jac Caglianone), who are top of ESPN MLB draft analyst Kiley McDaniel’s draft rankings, or if they will opt for a middle infielder like Oregon State’s second baseman Travis Bazzana or West Virginia’s shortstop JJ Wetherholt.
As the Cleveland Guardians make their selection, attention turns to what the Cincinnati Reds, Colorado Rockies, Oakland Athletics, and Chicago White Sox will do, being the next in line. Additionally, there is anticipation about who will be the notable steals and reaches of Day 1.
