The 2018 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft was held last month, and the 30 baseball franchises picked a total of 1,214 players over 40 rounds.

Including compensatory and Competitive Balance Round A selections, 43 players were considered first-round picks.

That’s what our focus will be this week. Can you name the NCAA four-year schools that have produced the most first-round picks since the draft’s inception in 1965?

We’ve given you the number of first-rounders each school has produced and the state each school is located in — you just have to name the school.

You’ve got six minutes on the clock. Good luck!
