well if the 17 year old hits the ball just as far as the 19 year old without being fully developed I take him.
but that being said rutherford still was a top20 pick and the 11th HS Player picked so there weren't many 17 yos hitting the ball like him.
nobody would take a 17yo hitting the ball 300 feet over a 19yo hitting the ball 400 feet, it is just a factor when anything else is equal (or almost equal, if the 17yo hits the ball "only" 380 I still might take him but only if it is very Close).
