After three days and 20 rounds, the 2022 MLB Draft is in the books.

As is often the case, a handful of high school players who were expected to be high picks weren't selected at all because of strong college commitments.

But 108 high school players from the U.S. and four from Canada were drafted from Sunday through Tuesday, starting at No. 1 overall with Oklahoma shortstop Jackson Holliday (Stillwater High School).

Here they all are, grouped by state in alphabetical order (plus Canada), with the baseball program each competed for in parentheses.
