If a player was rated as a preseason Top 100 prospect by MLB Pipeline, Baseball America and/or ESPN (at least two of the three), was on his team’s Opening Day roster and goes on to win the Rookie of the Year Award or place in the top three in MVP or Cy Young voting prior to qualifying for arbitration, the club is awarded a Prospect Promotion Incentive pick after the first round. As a result, Hunter Brown (HOU) earned his team a draft pick for finishing third in AL Cy Young voting.

28. Houston Astros: RHP Coleman Borthwick, South Walton HS (FL)

If a team that loses a qualifying free agent is a revenue-sharing recipient and the free agent signs for at least $50 million, the team will be awarded a pick between the first round and Competitive Balance Round A. Assuming Zac Gallen signs a deal north of $50 million, the D-backs will receive the No. 29 overall pick. Otherwise, their compensation pick will move back and everyone below will move up one spot.

29. Arizona Diamondbacks: C Will Brick, Christian Brothers HS (TN)

Competitive Balance Round A Picks

All teams that have either one of the 10 smallest markets or 10 smallest revenue pools receive an additional pick at the end of the first or second round. The groups of teams alternate between the two rounds each year. These are the only picks that are eligible to be traded.

The Yankees, Phillies, Blue Jays and Dodgers also each received a 10-pick penalty on their first selection for exceeding the second luxury tax threshold, leaving their first picks as part of the Competitive Balance Round A.
