## Draft

The first Baseball United Draft took place on October 23, 2023, with all four franchises making selections.[3][4] The draft was a snake-draft format, where the draft order "loops" around (1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1). The Wolves used the 3rd and 6th overall selections in the first round to pick former [Major League Baseball](/source/Major_League_Baseball) infielders Didi Gregorius and [Robinson Cano](/source/Robinson_Can%C3%B3).[5][6][7]

The Wolves made 20 selections across the 10 rounds of the draft, 8 pitchers and 12 position players.[8]
