Where are they now? Looking at the last 10 No. 1 picks

On Monday, when Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred stepped to the podium to announce the first overall selection in the 2017 entry draft, high school shortstop Royce Lewis etched his name in the history books when he was picked by the Minnesota Twins.

Lewis joins a growing list of talented No. 1 picks who were deemed the best of their draft class and who are expected to become a gigantic part of an organization's future.

With that being said, let's take a look at the 10 No. 1 overall picks drafted before Lewis and see just how much of a difference they've made for their clubs.

2016, Mickey Moniak, Phillies

Moniak graduated to playing Single-A ball with the Phillies affiliate in Lakewood this season, where he's hitting a respectable .266 with 14 doubles and five stolen bases. The youngster is a ways away from the big leagues.

2015, Dansby Swanson, Diamondbacks

Swanson never suited up for Arizona's big-league club, instead being the centerpiece in a trade for Shelby Miller. He didn't take long to get to the show though. He's struggled in his first season as the Braves' starting shortstop (.214/.293/.336), but they believe he's part of the team's budding future.

2014, Brady Aiken, Astros

Taken three spots ahead of Kyle Schwarber and 12 ahead of Trea Turner, Aiken's pro career has gotten off to a rough start after he failed to sign with the Astros and was instead drafted 17th overall a year later by the Cleveland Indians. After posting a 7.12 ERA in rookie ball last season, Aiken owns a 1-8 record with 40 walks in 61 1/3 innings this season at Single-A.

2013, Mark Appel, Astros

Similar to Swanson, Appel never appeared in a big-league game for the team that drafted him first overall. He was instead traded to the Philadelphia Phillies as part of a package for Ken Giles in 2015 and has pitched to a 5.65 ERA with spotty control (5.7 BB/9) this season in the minors.

2012, Carlos Correa, Astros

Upon making his MLB debut in 2015, Correa had an immediate impact en route to a Rookie of the Year award. He's a legitimate star on baseball's best team and is in the midst of a career year (.294/.368/.504).

2011, Gerrit Cole, Pirates

Cole has already earned an All-Star nod, won 19 games in the bigs, and is apparently on the trade block with the deadline approaching in the next couple of months. Quite a beginning to his career for the 26-year-old right-hander.

2010, Bryce Harper, Nationals

Arguably the game's best player, Harper already has three All-Star appearances, a Rookie of the Year award, and an MVP to his credit. Oh, and he's just 24 years old. He could become the richest player in baseball history when he becomes a free agent in 2019.

2009, Stephen Strasburg, Nationals

When he's healthy, Strasburg is one of the game's most dominant pitchers. He's already recorded more than 1,100 strikeouts in his career, owns a spectacular 3.18 ERA and signed a $175-million extension with the Nationals to stay with them until at least the end of the 2019 season when he can potentially opt out.

2008, Tim Beckham, Rays

It may have taken a while, but Beckham is finally showing the promise that made him the No. 1 selection in 2008. The 27-year-old is hitting .282/.321/.444 with 10 home runs and 31 RBIs during his breakout campaign for a Rays club that is keeping pace in the AL East.

2007, David Price, Rays

There's no question Price has been one of baseball's best pitchers since Tampa drafted him in 2007. He owns a Cy Young, has finished second for the award two other times, and is a horse on the mound. If only he could win in the playoffs and get the fans in Boston on his side, he might have everything going his way.
