NEW YORK _ This year's MLB draft will feature one-eighth of the picks, but double the national broadcasts.
In addition to its regular home on MLB Network, the draft next month will air live on ESPN and ESPN2, which are dealing with a dearth of live content during sports' pandemic-induced shutdown. It is the first time that multiple networks will provide live prime-time coverage of the event. Each network will produce their own broadcast.
At 7 p.m. on June 10, the first round and competitive balance round A (37 picks total) will air on ESPN and MLBN.
