Teams in BOLD won League Championships
The Dodgers selected 85 players in this draft. Of those, six of them would eventually play Major League baseball.
The first draft pick was left handed pitcher David Yocum out of Florida State University. After an impressive first season with the Vero Beach Dodgers of the Florida State League, Yocum experienced pain in his left shoulder, several surgeries failed to correct the problem and he was out of baseball after just two seasons and 15 games. He later became a firefighter.[4]
