1967 Major League Baseball draft

The 1967 Major League Baseball draft recruits amateur baseball players into the American Major League Baseball league. The players selected in 1967 included many talented prospects who later had careers in the professional league. Some selections included Bobby Grich and Don Baylor, Vida Blue, Dusty Baker and Ralph Garr, Ken Singleton and Jon Matlack, and Ted Simmons and Jerry Reuss. In the January draft, Boston selected catcher Carlton Fisk and the New York Mets drafted Ken Singleton. The Cincinnati Reds selected Chris Chambliss in the 31st round only to have him enroll in junior college. The Mets chose Dan Pastorini in the 32nd round, but Pastorini chose football and played several seasons in the NFL. Atlanta also chose Archie Manning in the 43rd round. There was also a "1967 MLB June Draft-Secondary Phase" that saw players drafted, most notably with Gary Gentry.
