Its been five years since the 2016 draft.
I thought it would be interesting to see how that draft has turned out so far. Obviously, the Indians hit the jackpot with Bieber (4th round...13.9 fWAR), Civale (3rd...3.4), Plesac (12th...3.4), but overall, how have others done?
So far, I've looked at the first round.
The most productive first round draftee in terms of fWAR has been Cal Quantrill at 3.6. Only two others have been worth at least 2 WAR.....Ian Anderson (3.0) and Kyle Lewis (2.5)
Some notable names in the first round were Moniak, Senzel, Kirilloff, Lux, and Matt Manning.
