With the worst record in the 2021 MLB season, the Baltimore Orioles will receive the first overall pick.[3] The New York Mets will receive the 11th overall pick as compensation for failing to sign Kumar Rocker.[4] The Boston Red Sox will receive the 41st overall pick as compensation for failing to sign Jud Fabian.[5]

On March 10, 2022, MLB and the MLBPA came to an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement.[6] The new CBA will institute a draft lottery beginning with the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft, with the first six picks being sorted via a lottery for the 18 teams that do not qualify for the postseason. There will be limitations on teams participating in the lottery multiple years in a row, with separate limitations for revenue-sharing recipients and revenue-sharing payers. The draft will permanently switch to 20 rounds, with an annual pre-draft combine, and guarantees to draftees of 75% of their slot value provided that they submit to pre-draft physicals. A draft-and-follow option will be re-introduced for players drafted after the 10th round who do not sign before the signing deadline.[7]
