• Thomas R led the way with 8, followed by Allen C (7), Allen H (6), and Justin P (7)
• Rd 27 had the most new players selected - 7.  
• Roughly half of all the new players were selected in Rd 22 or later, but Round 12 was an aberration with 5 (Don Newcombe, Felix Hernandez, Dwight Gooden, George Kell, and Sean Doolittle.
• It's really not a suprise, but 23 of the 54 were from 2014
