The MLB draft has different rules from other professional sports drafts such as the NFL, NBA, or NHL. There may be up to 50 rounds in the MLB draft. With 30 teams, that could mean 1,500 picks. However, there are more rules complicating that number. First, depending on how many free agents a team lost (and how good those free agents were), teams might be awarded "compensatory picks" that are sandwiched between the first and second round. Second, a team can stop picking at any round by "passing." The remaining teams will continue picking. In the 2008 draft, 1,504 players were drafted. In 2007, 1,453 players. The MLB draft currently held in the first week in June.

MLB not the player?
It is a best of 5 series. In other words, first team to 3 wins goes on to the next round.

I assume you mean MLB (Major League Baseball)... Each of 30 teams play 162 games during the regular season. Four teams from each of the two leagues make the playoffs. The first round is a 5 game series, the second round is a 7 game series and the third round (the World Series) is a 7 game series.
Every year, 8 teams qualify for the MLB playoffs. If you win your division, you make the playoffs.
