1,323
players who played in PG events drafted, 85% of all picks in the
draft
Last
year the staff at Perfect Game thought it might be impossible to
break the 2009 record total of draft picks. That year a total of
1,191 players who had participated in Perfect Game events were
selected, which accounted for more than 78% of all of the players
drafted.
The 2010 PG draft totals far surpassed the old
record.
For
the 15th consecutive year a record was established when more than 83%
(1,266 of 1,525 total players drafted) of all players selected in the
2010 MLB draft attended Perfect Game events.
Here
is a break down for 2010:
Rd 1 and Rd 1 supplemental: 44 of 50
= 88%
Rd 1-10: 285 of 323 = 88.23%
Rd 11-20: 264 of 300 =
88%
Rd 21-30: 244 of 300 = 81%
Rd 31-40: 249 of 300 = 83%
Rd
41-50: 224 of 300 = 75%
As
the numbers continue to grow, establishing records will be
difficult to attain. However, once again this year another record was
set.
1,323
of the 1,530 players who were selected in the 2011 draft played in
Perfect Game events, 85% of all picks.
Here

Rd 11-20: 259 of 300 = 86%
