Global Draft pool - suggestions for %'s ???
Hello everyone...one of the things that I have wanted to toy around with every year is the implementation of a global draft. Started to mess with it again with 25 but I am struggling with coming up with a set percentages that makes sense. On the one hand, I can look at modern day MLB/MILB distribution of nationalities and base the draft pool on that. However, that is not really reflective of the amateur 'pool' in reality and I worry if the Caribbean / Latin America population would actually be under represented?
So asking if others have implemented a global draft (no international amateur FA's or scouting finds) and what percentages you have used? Probably no 'right' answer but just looking for starting points on what you have used in a MLB setup that you are comfortable with.

I did something like this in one of the online leagues I run. I basically used google to find the breakdown of nationalities and plugged them in. It's not perfect but it worked for us. I think if you're worried about those nations being under rep'd, it might be better to leave discoveries and IAFA on. Since the majority of your drafts will still be USA players. Last time I plugged in the numbers, the MLB is about 70% American players
Here's what I have currently USA - 70.69 DR - 12.7 Venezuela - 7.12 Cuba - 2.05 Puerto Rico - 1.52 Mexico - 1.26 Japan - 0.70 Panama - 0.64 Colombia - 0.60 Canada - 0.57 South Korea - 0.48 Australia - 0.24 Taiwan - 0.24 Nicaragua - 0.21 Curacao - 0.18 UAE - 0.18 Brazil - 0.15 Bahamas - 0.12 Germany - 0.09 South Africa - 0.09 Aruba - 0.06 Virgin Islands - 0.06 Random Nationality - 0.03 |
