After last year’s mini-draft of just five rounds, the 2021 MLB Draft is 20 rounds long. Here’s a look at every Dodgers selection.
The Dodgers had 19 picks this year, having forfeited their second-round pick for signing free agent Trevor Bauer. They used their first-round pick to take left-hander Maddux Bruns, out of UMS Wright prep school in Mobile, Alabama in the first round.
Paired with third-round right-hander Peter Heubeck out of Gilman School in Baltimore, the Dodgers took high school pitchers with their first two picks for the first time since taking Zach Lee and Ralston Cash in the first two rounds in 2010.
Seventeen of the Dodgers’ 19 picks are pitchers, including 15 college pitchers after those first two picks. The Dodgers’ two position players are high school shortstop Michael Sirota out of The Gunner School in Connecticut (16th round), and local outfielder Damon Keith out of Cal Baptist (18th round).
The Dodgers total draft bonus pool, derived from the recommended slot values for every pick through the first 10 rounds, is just over $4.6 million.
