Funny thing about ball players.. a guy can be picked in the 74th round and end up winning the batting title or Cy Young award..or picked #1 overall and do exactly squat in the big leagues.. The same applies to football to a lesser degree. Baseball players are often considered pros just out of hs, sometimes long before they ever graduate. My grandfather was drafted at 15.. He never got to sign because his parents wanted him working for them, but he never made it passed 8th grade..
