About this title

Synopsis

Feeling A Draft takes a comprehensive look at the origins of Major League Baseball’s amateur player draft and the many twists and turns the draft has taken since it was instituted in 1965. The book delves into the mysteries of why some “can’t miss” prospects fail to make an impact while other unheralded players carve out a place in the pantheon of baseball stars. In telling the story of the amateur player draft, Feeling A Draft presents the heretofore untold stories of the many baseball scouts who have scoured the country in search of those special athletes capable of achieving success at the Major League level.
