Ever wonder who was the lowest pick to ever grace the ML? Who was the lowest pick that made a big impact on the ML? Well now, I was curious, so here they are.
Lowest pick: Miller Boyd who played 2.103 seasons for the NY Mets and was drafted in round 23 with the 768th overall pick in season 2. He played in seasons 5 thru 8.
Edgard Camacho was a season 2 21st round 702nd pick that played 1 season with the old Syracuse franchise in season 7.
Harold Allen was drafted in season 5 Round 24 pick 763 by Washington and has played off and on for 1.017 seasons and is still on their AAA affiliate.
Rocky Buchanan was drafted by Austin in season 5 round 22 with the 723rd pick and has 1.042 of ML service and is still active on their AA affiliate.
Biggest Impact: Augie Holbert drafted in the 17th round with the 564th pick by Las Vegas in season 5. Entering his 5th season in the Las Vegas pen has become a premier closer.
Harry Butler was drafted in the 18th round with the 576th pick of season 4 by the old Kansas City franchise, now Tampa Bay. He plays DH (if you call that playing) where he has amassed 170 hrs and a .292 average in 5 plus seasons.
Olmedo Moreno and Vinny Thurman were both drafted in the 17th and 18th round of season 4 and play for the Washington.
Oldest Active: Hector Campbell of the Texas Rangers who was drafted in season 2 round 17 with the 560th pick by the old Norfok Mets sic Cleveland Indians.
Butch King was drafted in the 17th round with the 552nd pick in season 2 and is currently with Durham in AAA. He was a DITR in the Cleveland franchise and would have been a super pitcher if he was given a decent durability to go with his outlandish projected pitching abilities.
