The first-round picks in the 22nd Major League Baseball amateur draft. This was the first year of the two-phase draft system, when franchises that did not sign their first-round selections awarded a supplemental first-round pick in the next year's draft.
The first pick was awarded to the worst team in the American or National League, with the picks alternating between leagues based on the reverse order of their finish the previous season.
