Rule 5 draft results

{{Short description|List of Major League Baseball player drafts}}

{{Use mdy dates|date=April 2019}}

Below are lists of Rule 5 draft results since 1997. Players selected in the Major League Baseball (MLB) phase of the Rule 5 draft must be kept on their new team's active roster for the entire following MLB season, or they are placed on waivers and offered back to their original team if not claimed. Players chosen in the Minor League Baseball phase(s) of the Rule 5 draft remain with their new organization without restrictions.

The Rule 5 draft has happened every year since 1920. The 2021 MLB lockout led to the postponement of the major league phase of the Rule 5 draft, but the minor league phase proceeded as scheduled.{{cite web|url=https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/major-league-rule-5-draft-postponed-minor-league-phase-will-still-take-place/|title=Major League Rule 5 Draft Postponed, Minor League Phase Will Still Take Place|first=Kyle|last=Glaser|work=Baseball America|date=December 2, 2021|accessdate=December 2, 2021}}
