MLB Draft Slot Values: How much money is the first pick worth in 2023?

Each pick in the MLB Draft is worth an estimated amount of money. Generally, that value goes down as each subsequent pick is less valuable. For example, the first pick is worth the most, and the second pick, though still quite valuable, is worth less.

The first pick in the MLB Draft, owned by the Pittsburgh Pirates, is worth almost $10 million at a value of $9,721,000. That is the most in the entire draft and they will use it to select one of Paul Skenes, Dylan Crews or even Wyatt Langford.
