The Dodgers selected 50 players in this draft. Of those, seven of them would eventually play Major League baseball. They lost their first round pick to theSan Diego Padres and their third round pick to theBaltimore Orioles as a result of their signing free agent pitchersKevin Brown andAlan Mills. They also gained a supplemental first round pick and a second round pick as compensation for losing pitcherScott Radinsky to free agency and a supplemental second round pick as compensation for pitcherBrian Bohanon.
The first round pick was shortstopJason Repko fromHanford High School. He was transitioned to the outfield and played seven seasons in the majors (four with the Dodgers). He had several serious injuries in his career and was relegated primarily to a backup position. Repko hit .224 in 360 MLB games. The draft class also included outfielderShane Victorino, who was drafted in the sixth round out ofSt. Anthony High School inHawaii. He was selected by thePhiladelphia Phillies in the 2004Rule 5 draft and proceeded to become a two-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion.
