Rotation Draft - February 11, 2023
The USPBL's annual ROTATION from for the 2023 season was held on Feb 11th.
Rich (CLC #4) hosted the event on TEAM. With 3 Walsh's gathered in one location, and Rich representing both CLC and MVN, there were a total of 16 teams present.There was one list and 3 drafted by phone.
The draft took place over 3 hours 19 minutes which is a little better than in previous years.
The first round took a bit longer than usual or we may have even cracked the 3 hour barrier.
Round 1 39 min RND 2 27 min RND 3 32 min RND 4 26 min
RND 5 23 min RND 6 30 min RND 7 22 min
This was odd, that rounds 5 and 7 were the quickest when they normally were the slowest.
There were 45 Uncarded players drafted. This includes only those that did not play at all in the Majors.
Many players are still prospects but have a few At Bats and Innings giving them cards.
This represents 32% of the players drafted. Nine UC were selected in the 1st round including the two very first picks! There were also nine UC in the 5th round. Only four UC were drafted in round 2.
Oddity - In round 3 there was a stretch of 11 picks with only pitchers and catchers selected.
By Position: 65 pitchers which is 46% of the 140 players drafted. Among these were just 12 UC players.
That of coarse leaves 75 position players for the other 54%. 33 are UC.
Catchers - 14 (7 UC) 1B 6 (2) 2B 6 (2) 3B 7 (4)
Shortstop - 11 (9) OF 29 (9) DH 2 (0)
There were 5 "Dylan's" drafted.
