Major League League Draft Online at 11:25 on June 11 to Prevent New Corona Infections
The Major League Draft Conference started online on the 10th to prevent new coronavirus infections, with team members and nominated players attending from offices and homes.
The major league draft conference, which was supposed to take place in the state of Nebraska in the Midwest, was canceled due to the effects of the new coronavirus and instead started online on the 10th.
The conference was led by Manfred Commissioner, a major league institution, with a television studio in New Jersey as the main venue, and the first day, the first round was nominated.
The members of the team expressed their joy by participating online from the office and from their homes, and hugging their families at the moment they were nominated by the team.
Since the spread of the new coronavirus has had a major impact on the management of each team, the nomination of athletes, which is performed up to the 40th round every year, has been reduced to the 5th round on the 11th. At the draft meeting, players will be appointed from the 2nd to the 5th rounds.
On the other hand, Astros, who had been punished for conducting illegal signature analysis, was deprived of his right to nominate the first and second rounds at the draft conference next year, so the conference on that day I didn't participate.
