Major League Baseball on Tuesday officially announced details for the 2024 MLB Draft Combine, which will take place from June 18-23. The Draft Combine will be hosted at Chase Field in Phoenix, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, for a second consecutive year. The inaugural Draft Combine in 2021 was held at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina, while San Diego¡¯s Petco Park, home of the Padres, hosted the event in 2022.

The 2023 Draft Combine grew significantly following the impact of the 2022 event as 298 Draft-eligible players attended the Combine (+23% vs. 2022) and 39 of the top 50 Draft selections participated in Combine events (+22% vs. 2022). In addition, 75 of the top 100 picks in the MLB Draft were Combine attendees (+17% vs. 2022), while 217 of the 298 Combine attendees overall were selected in the MLB Draft (72.8%), compared to 172 of 243 in 2022 (70.8%). Combine participation again increased across the board in 2023 in each of the five assessment categories (Club interviews; medical; vision; on-field; and strength and conditioning). As the Combine continues to grow, the event¡¯s impact is being felt across the game with 16 previous Combine participants already on a 40-man roster, and all 16 having made their Major League debuts as of May 21, 2024.
