In all drafts except the first we mirror MLB draft structure(other than compensation and competitive balance picks). Both of our drafts are NOT snake drafts. The draft order will be the same in each round of the drafts. Meaning, if you have the first overall pick you will have the first pick in every round of the draft, etc. See the constitution for how the draft pick order is assigned.
This is NOT the case for the initial(first) minor league and amateur drafts. These two drafts will be traditional snake drafts because we are starting from scratch, and awarding a single team the first pick in every round would be a massive competitive advantage. Ryan has mentioned that the order for the minor league draft will be randomly generated.
The 2016 amateur draft will also be a snake draft. The order of pics for that draft will be a reverse order of the initial minor league draft. Meaning, if you have the first pick in the initial minor league draft you will have the 20th pick in the 2016 in season amateur draft.
