With competitive balance and compensation picks, there will be 78 picks in the first two "rounds".
Below is a link to the slot money for the first 10 rounds of the draft. Slot money doesn't guarantee anyone that bonus, but each MLB team is allowed to spend their total pool from the top 10 rounds on the first 10 draft picks without penalty. Going over the total cumulative bonus pool for your first 10 round picks brings penalties. That said, typically college Juniors receive relatively close to slot, HS Seniors often receive a bit more than slot, and college Seniors get drafted in the first 10 rounds so teams can use their bonus money on other players. Of course, there are always exceptions.
