Perfect Game plans extensive coverage of Major League Baseball’s 2011 first-year player draft, complete with extensive and exclusive player rankings, comprehensive scouting reports and profiles, and regular updates and features on the elite prospects.

We’ll also provide daily blogs of draft comings and goings, and enhance our coverage with mock drafts, draft chats and videos of top prospects.

Our daily coverage will begin on Wednesday, April 27, and continue through the draft itself, which is scheduled from June 6-8. You can get a thorough rundown of our planned coverage by viewing the draft schedule below.

As you can see, we’ll provide comprehensive national and state rankings of thousands of potential draft picks, along with elaborate scouting reports on more than 200 prospects and mini-reports on hundreds more. We’ll also provide much more content, including signing bonuses on hundreds of the top picks in the last several drafts.

PG draft experts David Rawnsley and Allan Simpson will be at the forefront of all our coverage, but we’ll also get considerable input from PG’s Patrick Ebert and Kendall Rogers.

Most of Perfect Game’s considerable draft content will be available free of charge, but it will take an Insider-level subscription to view some of the content—and even a Premium-level subscription, in some cases. To subscribe to PG Crosschecker’s more exclusive draft content, please click here.

2024 Mock Draft: April 11
We're still so far away from the July date of the 2024 MLB Draft that anything can, and likely will, happen moving forward but here's how the draft team sees things falling into place if the draft were to happen now.

MLB Draft Board Update: Top 400
The 2024 MLB Draft doesn’t happen for another three months, but it has already drawn a reputation for being a bit light in terms of overall talent compared to years past. The truth is we’re not going to know that answer for at least another five years or so but there are strengths to this class particularly at the top of the draft.

2025 MLB Draft: College Top 150
We're a year out, but several of these prospects have already established themselves as front line prospects who you'll want to know all about.

2026 MLB Draft: College Top 100
Now that college is a handful of weeks underway, it's time to readjust the 2026 board (college only) with some players already announcing their arrival in a very big way.
