Two rules changes go into effect for this year's draft:- Teams now have 12 hours to make their pick for each round.
- Teams who do not select within the allotted 12 hours will have their selection be auto drafted in the first two rounds and skipped for the rest of the draft.

- A team must have a roster spot available. The player selected will be assigned to a minor league spot. If there is not an available spot in the minors, the player selected will be placed on the MLB roster. If there are no spots available at the time the pick is scheduled to be made, the team will be skipped.
