2022 MLB draft day 1 results: who did the teams pick? Complete list
Major League Baseball’s Draft was moved from spring time to right in the middle of All-Star Weekend as the stars of tomorrow were announced from Los Angeles.
Sunday marked Day 1 of the MLB Draft and the Baltimore Orioles took Jackson Holliday, shortstop from Stillwater High School with the number one overall pick.
Holliday one of many former players’ sons
For the first time ever, the Draft is being held smack dab in the middle of All Star Weekend from Los Angeles, and what better place to spotlight the next generation of Major Leaguers than LaLa Land?
There were a handful of second generation MLBers that heard their names called on Day 1 of the Draft from the Xbox Plaza. Jackson Holliday, son of former St. Louis Cardinal, Matt Holliday and Druw Jones, son of legendary centerfielder Andrew Jones was expected to be the first pick of the selection show, and the Orioles made no mistake when taking the talented outfielder.
Justin Crawford, son of Carl Crawford, and Cam Collier, son of Lou Collier had their names announced on the Draft’s opening day as a new wave of talent with MLB pedigree made their Major League dreams come true.
