1910 Amateur Draft
DEEP DRAFT POOL SEES TEAMS LOAD UP ON BATS
The 1910 Draft featured the deepest talent pool in BaTTY history, loaded with potential Hall-of-Famers, especially among hitters. The top pick, which belonged to the Cardinals, was used on left fielder Barry Bonds, a five-tool player whose talent could lead him to become one of the game's greatest players. Also in that category is second baseman Ross Barnes, who was tapped by the New York Giants with the second pick overall. The Giants' cross-town rival Highlanders picked third and selected the "other" great left-field talent in the draft in Harry Stovey. Larry Doby, like Bonds a five-tool super-prospect, was taken by the White Sox at #4. Doby can play several positions, and play all of them well, and while he isn't at the level of Bonds or Barnes offensively, is an extremely talented all-around player. Another all-around talent is center-fielder Eric Davis, selected with the fifth pick by Cincinnati. Davis is the speediest player in the draft - a tool that comes in handy on both offense and defense. The first pitcher wasn't chosen until the eighth choice, when the Philadelphia Athletics selected right-handed fireballer Tom Henke. In all, eleven of the sixteen teams selected a hitter with their first-round choice.
