The first-round picks in the 25th Major League Baseball amateur draft. It was a two-phase draft system, as franchises that did not sign their first-round selections were awarded a supplemental pick in the next year's draft at the end of the first round.
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.
