There was no such thing as a draft when Ty Cobb was signed by the Detroit Tigers as a 19 year old in 1905. All players were eligible to be signed by any team and picked the best offer if more than one team wanted to sign them.

Cobb's first major league appearance was on August 30, 1905. In his first at-bat for the Detroit Tigers, he hit a double off Jack Chesbro of the New York Highlanders. He went on to bat .240 in 41 games that season.
