2021 MLB draft order set by 2020 standings

The order for the 2021 MLB draft was made official, with teams picking in reverse order of their 2020 regular-season record, as usual.

There had been some mystery about the draft order as there was a provision in the March agreement between the league and players regarding the 2020 season that allowed commissioner Rob Manfred to adjust the order, but with the full 60-game schedule completed, no adjustments were made.

The draft is scheduled to be held July 11-13 in conjunction with the All-Star Game festivities.
