But just to play devil's advocate, according to the linked article as far back as 2016 four 2015 draft picks were promoted to the majors. (two pitchers, Bregman, Benitendi) And it wouldn't shock me to see some pitchers from the 2020 draft work out of major league BP's in 2021 if teams don't delay them for contractual reasons.
So I'm curious as to how many pitchers you are seeing being promoted to the majors the year after their draft class.
