The Dodgers selected 51 players in this draft. Of those, 13 of them would eventually play Major League baseball. They lost their first round draft pick as a result of signing free agent
Derek Lowe but gained a supplemental first round pick and a second round pick as compensation for the loss of free agent
Adrián Beltré. The first round pick was right-handed pitcher
Luke Hochevar out of the
University of Tennessee. After a long and controversial negotiation period, Hochevar backed out on a deal to sign with the Dodgers and would re-enter the draft the following year where he signed with the
Kansas City Royals. While several members of this years draft class would make the Majors, none were more than role players. ==References==
