Background

The draft went a record 101 rounds, surpassing 1989's total of 88, and included a record 1,487 selections. The Astros led all clubs with 100 selections. Seattle was second with 75, followed by the Yankees (74), Montreal (71) and Atlanta (67). The 1990 draft included two Class AA clubs, the Erie Sailors of the New York-Penn League and the Miami Miracle of the Florida State League. Rule 4 draft regulations permitted minor league clubs to participate. Erie made one selection, 24-year-old Brigham Young outfielder Gary Daniels. Miami made 16 selections, signing 15 of them, including All-American outfielder Paul Carey of Stanford in the fourth round. Atlanta made Chipper Jones, a high school shortstop from the Bolles School in Jacksonville, FL, the draft's top pick. Detroit followed by picking outfielder Tony Clark out of Christian High School in El Cajon, CA. The top three picks and seven of the top 10 choices were out of high school.

Todd Van Poppel, a 6-5 right-handed pitcher from Martin High School in Arlington, Texas was singled out as one of the top prospects prior to the draft, but he complicated the picture by stating his desire to attend the University of Texas. Thirteen clubs passed on Van Poppel until Oakland selected him. On July 16th, Van Poppel signed with the Athletics.
