Eight players will attend the Major League Baseball draft on June 6.
It is the largest group of potential draftees to attend the broadcast, breaking last year's mark of five.
The group includes six high school players, one junior college shortstop and a college outfielder. Each player is expected to be selected on the first night of the event.
"Major League Baseball is very pleased with the turnout for this year's Draft," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "We look forward to showing these young men and their families a memorable evening, on such a special occasion in their lives, with the many accomplished baseball figures who will represent our 30 clubs at MLB Network's Studio 42."
