While it's coming a bit later than it has in the past, the 2024 MLB Draft is set to get underway tonight in Fort Worth, Texas. The first round of the draft is set to begin at 6 PM CT, with TV coverage on both ESPN and MLB Network. Additional rounds of the draft will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday; MLB Network will continue to have coverage.
The first round of the MLB Draft hasn't typically been one of significant interest for Iowa fans, but that should change this year with star RHP Brody Brecht expected to hear his name called in the first round. Brecht is widely projected by most draft experts to be taken in the back half of the first round, around picks 20-25.
If Brecht is taken in that 20-25 range, these are the teams that hold those picks:
20) Toronto Blue Jays
21) Minnesota Twins
22) Baltimore Orioles
23) Los Angeles Dodgers
24) Atlanta Braves
25) San Diego Padres
