- The MLB Rule 5 draft is that annual event that few people really understand. But in this video, we will learn just about everything you could wish to know about the draft.
I say it multiple times in the video, but the rule 5 draft is NOT the first-year player draft. The rule 5 draft exists so teams cannot hoard minor league prospects who may be ready for the majors. This video will go over the history of the rule 5 draft, as well as how the current iteration of the draft works. I also mention some notable rule 5 selections such as Josh Hamilton, Johan Santana, Shane Victorino, and Roberto Clemente.

One thing I forgot to mention was if I a player got injured. A rule 5 player must be active for 90 days of the season. So if they are active for 40 days, then get injured for the rest of the year, they are still considered a rule 5 player for 50 days of the next season.
So what happens to the players that are not selected by any other team ? Do they stay in their current teams ? Do they become free agents ? I would love your answer. Thanks!
@@isbe8810 If they aren't drafted, they remain with their clubs. Minor league players usually become free agents after six/seven years.
Some days, I feel like life selected me in the rule 5 draft but returned me due to performance.
Some people need to be returned in order to blossom.
You win the award for best comment btw 👏👏👏
I found your channel by randomly looking up dontrelle willis one time and now i can't stop watching your videos.
That's really awesome to hear! Glad you like the channel!
big sexy's dad me too
Fun fact: there's also minor league version of the rule 5 draft!!
AAA teams can pick minor leaguers off AA and lower teams while AA can choose Class A players. The MLB affiliate pick players off AA and Class A rosters and those aren't sent back to the original teams if they do make the AAA or AA club. They are instead report to whatever level they are assigned.
Players from the minor league portion of rule 5 draft are usually "depth" players for a team's minor league affiliate.
Man, I thought the rule 5 draft existed so I could get a free A potential Closing pitcher in MLB the show franchise!
That is so true 😂
I like the Rule 5 draft, you can get star players early if you know what you’re doing
Thank you so much for explaining, I kinda got into a pickle with my MLB the show franchise team 😅
Do you have a video explaining arbitration? It's a little confusing to me. Commentators talk about it every once and while but they don't explain it very well.
I think I mention it in my free agency video but I'll give arbitration it's own video next offseason

next assignment ,,,,40 man roster what does it mean.......please explain...your brilliant
Yeah I can do the 40 man roster sometime as a bonus video!
@@outtaherebaseball3205 The 40 man roster is basically the way you protect your players from the rule 5 draft. Every winter, teams are allowed to placed players on the list (signed MLB players and at 15 MiLB players.
Do a video on RA Dickey. He had a very interesting career
explain to me how I can keep R5 drafted players in OOTP! The stupid computer always 'sends them down' after ST so they get sent back...

I'm watching the hot stove league on Netflix these baseball terms really confuse me
So if you claim a player off waivers do they need to be on the 26 man roster or can they be in triple A
Man, I totally forgot Johan Santana was originally a Rule 5 😅
Outta Here Baseball : Tells me the Rule 5 Draft is not the same as the Draft
Me: I know that because I play MLB The Show
Honestly you can learn a lot from those games! Appreciate all the comments btw
Thanks 😊
Outta Here Baseball also I found your channel today! and just watch your video’s on and on and on ect
Wasn’t Jose Bautista a Rule 5 pick by the Pirates?
Yeah I believe so! Or maybe he got sent back after being selected? I think it was the year he played for like 4 teams
Yes he was but he got traded four times in that one year
