According to allotsego.com, since 1965, 47 Hall of Famers have been chosen in the Major League Baseball Draft, which is currently underway. History says at least one future Hall of Famer will be selected this year.
The identity of that player won’t be known for decades, but a journey to Cooperstown likely began on Sunday.
The Hall of Fame Class of 2023 features two former draft picks: Fred McGriff was taken in the ninth round by the Yankees in 1981 out of Thomas Jefferson High School in Tampa, Florida; and Scott Rolen was selected in the second round by the Phillies from Jasper (Indiana) High School.
