Again more pitching at the top of the draft. Sam Boone who was drafted 1st overall in 1960 but failed to sign was drafted 1st overall again this year.

The first high school player drafted was of course also a pitcher. Rueben Westbrook will rely on his changeup to turn him into a major-league capable starter.

The first hitter was taken at pick 5 and is a CF from Virginia. Tucker Anklam was originally drafted out of high school in 1960 but failed to sign with the White Sox.
