The Cleveland Indians are a Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise based in Cleveland, Ohio. They play in the American League Central division. Since the institution of MLB's Rule 4 Draft, the Indians have selected 59 players in the first round. Officially known as the "First-Year Player Draft",〔 the Rule 4 Draft is MLB's primary mechanism for assigning amateur baseball players from high schools, colleges, and other amateur baseball clubs to its teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick. In addition, teams which lost free agents in the previous off-season may be awarded compensatory or supplementary picks. Of the 58 players picked in the first round by Cleveland, 25 have been pitchers, the most of any position; 16 of them were right-handed, while 9 were left-handed. Eleven outfielders, ten shortstops, four third basemen, four first basemen, three catchers, and one second basemen were also taken. The team also drafted one player, Glenn Tufts (1973), who played as an infielder. Twelve of the players came from high schools or universities in the state of California, and Texas follows with eight players. The Indians have also drafted two players from their home state of Ohio.〔 None of the Indians' first-round picks have won a World Series championship with the team, and no pick has been elected to the Hall of Fame. None of these picks have won the MLB Rookie of the Year award, although Manny Ramirez (1991) placed second in the voting in 1994. CC Sabathia (1998) is the only first-round pick of the Indians to earn a Cy Young Award with the team, winning in 2007. The Indians have never held the first overall pick in the draft, but have selected players with the second overall pick five times.〔 The Indians have made 11 selections in the supplemental round of the draft and 15 compensatory picks since the institution of the First-Year Player Draft in 1965.〔 These additional picks are provided when a team loses a particularly valuable free agent in the previous off-season,〔 or, more recently, if a team fails to sign a draft pick from the previous year. The Indians have failed to sign three of their first-round picks: John Curtis (1966), Calvin Murray (1989), and Alan Horne (2001). The Indians received no compensation for failing to sign Curtis, but received the 39th pick in 1990 and the 41st pick in 2002 for failing to sign Murray and Horne, respectively.〔 ==Key==
