1974 Major League Baseball Draft

This was the tenth year of a Major League Baseball Draft. The Dodgers drafted 23 players in the June draft and six in the January draft. The top pick was pitcher Rick Sutcliffe from Van Horn High School in Independence, Missouri. Sutcliffe would go on to win the 1979 Rookie of the Year Award. The Dodgers traded him to the Cleveland Indians in 1982 but he would remain in the league through 1994. He accumulated a record of 171–139, was a three-time All-Star and won the 1984 National League Cy Young Award, while with the Chicago Cubs. They also drafted infielder Jim Riggleman in the fourth round. While he never made the Majors as a player, he had a stint as the Dodgers Major League Bench coach and would become a successful Major League Manager with four different clubs. {| class="toccolours collapsible collapsed" style="width:100%; background:inherit" ! 1974 Draft Picks
