Spanning Sunday, July 11 through Tuesday, July 13, the 2021 MLB draft marked another gradual step of the sports world returning to relative normalcy. Caveats were still undoubtedly present; the event overlapped with MLB’s All-Star Break in July rather than its typical slot in early June. Reported by Baseball America’s J.J. Cooper in early April, the delayed start was supplemented by the announcement that commissioner Rob Manfred and the MLBPA had settled on a 20-round draft. While reversion back to the usual 40-round format will have to wait another year (barring any bombshells in the collective bargaining discussions set to take place at the upcoming Winter Meetings), college and high school players, as well as general managers desperate to bolster depth, undoubtedly rejoiced. The 5-round format of 2020 which saw a plethora of big-league ambitions delayed or destroyed, while simultaneously forcing many clubs to reshuffle their volatile bonus allotment from lower ticket revenues, proved enough of a headache. Canceled or delayed seasons at the high school through the professional level were, nonetheless, met with tremendous determination. Continued analytical innovations, especially to accommodate remote scouting, are factors bound to be implemented for the foreseeable future.
