Opis

GOING PRO answers your questions and stimulates your thinking when a top-rated high school baseball player is deciding whether to turn professional after graduation instead of playing college ball first. Here you will find dozens of pages that address this dilemma along with a statistical analysis focused only on high school baseball players turning professional. Details on signing bonuses and salary along with other financial considerations including MLB-paid college scholarships. Find out how many high school players were drafted in 2012 and 2013, and more importantly who signed and for how much. Information on minor leagues is provided, including an entire appendix devoted to them, as well as the Indies and the foreign baseball leagues. Finally, the rules on banned substances and prohibited activities are provided.
