Why MLB doesn’t need rounds 21-40 ...

I did a quick review of the 2018 Red Sox roster since I already knew the answer for a majority of the players. Only two relevant American players including bench and bullpen were drafted after the sixth round. The team is loaded with first and second round picks.

Hembree (college) and Betts (high school) were taken in the 6th round. Betts was signed for significantly more than slot money to skip college. Pearce was taken in the 8th round after senior year of college. Eovaldi was selected in 11th round and convinced to skip college for a big signing bonus.
