The 'No. 1 MLB Draft picks' quiz

Created on March 4, 2026  |  Total tries: 0  |  Average Score: 0.0 out of 61  (0%)  |  Quiz FAQ   

The 2026 World Baseball Classic gets underway today with Chinese Taipei taking on Major League Baseball’s 2024 No. 1-overall Draft pick Travis Bazzana and Australia.

Bazzana hasn’t yet made it to the Majors for the Cleveland Guardians, but did make it up to AAA Columbus in 2025, hitting .225 with four home runs and 14 RBIs in 26 games. Despite no MLB action in his career, his success could be central to the Aussies building on their first-ever knockout round appearance at the WBC in 2023. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players selected first-overall in the MLB Amateur Draft since 1965 can you name in eight minutes?

Good luck!
