List of Cleveland Guardians first-round draft picks
Manny Ramirez (1991) made four all-star appearances with the Indians and led the majors in runs batted in in 1999 with 165.[ 1]
The Cleveland Guardians are a Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise based in Cleveland , Ohio . They play in the American League Central division. Since the institution of MLB's Rule 4 Draft , the Guardians have selected 71 players in the first round. Officially known as the "First-Year Player Draft",[ 2] the Rule 4 Draft is MLB's primary mechanism for assigning amateur baseball players from high schools, colleges, and other amateur baseball clubs to its teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick.[ 2] In addition, teams which lost free agents in the previous off-season may be awarded compensatory or supplementary picks .[ 3]
Of the 71 players picked in the first round by Cleveland, 30 have been pitchers , the most of any position; 19 of them were right-handed, while 11 were left-handed. Sixteen outfielders , eleven shortstops , four third basemen , four first basemen , four catchers , and one second basemen were also taken. The team also drafted one player, Glenn Tufts (1973), who played as an infielder .[ 4] Twelve of the players came from high schools or universities in the state of California, and Texas follows with eight players. The Guardians have also drafted two players from their home state of Ohio.[ 4]
None of the Guardians' first-round picks have won a World Series championship with the team, and no pick has been elected to the Hall of Fame . None of these picks have won the MLB Rookie of the Year award , although Manny Ramirez (1991) placed second in the voting in 1994.[ 5] CC Sabathia (1998) is the only first-round pick of the Guardians to earn a Cy Young Award with the team, winning in 2007.[ 6] The Guardians have held the first overall pick in the draft once in 2024, and have selected players with the second overall pick five times.[ 4]
The Guardians have made 11 selections in the supplemental round of the draft and 15 compensatory picks since the institution of the First-Year Player Draft in 1965.[ 4] These additional picks are provided when a team loses a particularly valuable free agent in the previous off-season,[ 3] [ 7] [V] or, more recently, if a team fails to sign a draft pick from the previous year.[ 8] The Guardians have failed to sign three of their first-round picks: John Curtis (1966), Calvin Murray (1989), and Alan Horne (2001). They received no compensation for failing to sign Curtis, but received the 39th pick in 1990 and the 41st pick in 2002 for failing to sign Murray and Horne, respectively.[ 4]

V Through the 2012 draft, free agents were evaluated by the Elias Sports Bureau and rated "Type A", "Type B", or not compensation-eligible. If a team offered arbitration to a player but that player refused and subsequently signed with another team, the original team was able to receive additional draft picks. If a "Type A" free agent left in this way, his previous team received a supplemental pick and a compensatory pick from the team with which he signed. If a "Type B" free agent left in this way, his previous team received only a supplemental pick.[ 8] Since the 2013 draft, free agents are no longer classified by type; instead, compensatory picks are only awarded if the team offered its free agent a contract worth at least the average of the 125 current richest MLB contracts.[ 61] However, if the free agent's last team acquired the player in a trade during the last year of his contract, it is ineligible to receive compensatory picks for that player.[ 62]
