Sixty all-time greats, from the deadball era to the modern game. The best template to demo a live draft with — everyone recognises the names, and nothing here ever goes out of date.

Why this one

Baseball Draft Board

Be clear about what is in the box: this template is sixty all-time greats, from the deadball era to the modern game, not a current-season projection set. It is the fastest way to see a live draft work, and it settles the best bar argument in baseball.

For a real fantasy baseball league, the board is the part that matters and it is identical either way — bring your own pool. Import a CSV of your rankings and the same live board runs your draft: one shared screen, a pick clock, and a pick feed nobody can dispute.

Baseball drafts run long and deep, which is exactly where a paper board falls apart. Round nineteen at midnight is when someone drafts a player who is already gone. A live board simply will not let that happen.

How it works

Running a fantasy baseball draft board

1. Start from the legends pool, or bring your own

Use the sixty all-time greats as-is for a quick draft, or import a CSV of current-season players and rankings to run your real league.

2. Pick your format

Snake or auction, any number of teams, any roster size. Set the pick clock long enough for a deep board or short enough to keep a party moving.

3. Order the pool before you start

Drag players into the order your league actually believes in. Whatever order the board is in when the draft opens is the order everyone sees.

4. Share one link and draft it live

Send the join link, set a pick clock, and everyone picks from the same board in real time. Spectators can follow along without an account, and the pick feed updates on every screen at once.

FAQ

Baseball Draft Board questions

Does this include current MLB players?

The built-in pool is all-time greats, not this season’s players — it is there so you can run a draft in under a minute without setting anything up. For a current-season league, import your own player list as a CSV and the board works identically.

Can I run an auction draft?

Yes. Auction is a format choice when you create the draft, with a budget per team and live bidding on the same shared board.

How deep can the board go?

Deep enough for a full roster league — you set the roster size, and the pool can be as long as your CSV. The board is built for drafts that run many rounds rather than a single pass.

How much does it cost?

$49, once. That is a LiveDraft Lifetime license: unlimited drafts, unlimited participants, every feature, forever. It is not a subscription and there are no per-draft or per-seat fees.

Do the people I invite have to pay?

No, and they never will. Everyone you invite plays free, forever. No seats, no per-player fees, no account upsell. Only the person running the draft needs a license, so a twelve-person league costs $49 in total.

Is it a subscription? Does it expire?

Neither. You pay once and the license is yours permanently — no renewals, no expiry, no card kept on file for later.

What features does the license include?

All of them. Every format (snake, standard, auction, hybrid), custom CSV datasets with unlimited rating columns, photos on the board, anonymous auction bidding, live chat, spectating, auto-pick, the template library, and priority support. There is no higher tier to buy.

Do I need to know how to code or use a spreadsheet?

No. Start from a ready-made template in one click, or upload a simple CSV. We provide a downloadable template with the columns already set up for you.

How many people can join a draft?

As many as your format needs. Invite friends by username, set the draft order, and everyone joins the live room from any device — no installs required.

What draft formats are supported?

Standard and snake drafts, budget auctions with anti-snipe and max bids, and a hybrid mode that auctions the top of your board before drafting the rest.

What happens if someone loses connection?

The clock is server-authoritative, so the draft stays in sync for everyone. Anyone who drops can reconnect and resume exactly where they left off, and optional auto-pick keeps things moving on the clock.

Can other people watch our draft?

Yes — flip on public spectating and anyone with the link can follow along pick by pick, live.
