Reality check:

84% of American MLBers are selected in the top ten rounds of the draft.

94% of American MLBers are selected in the top twenty rounds of the draft.

Granted a player can grow and develop from senior year of high school and junior year of college. But if a player isn't even on D1 radar screens coming out of high school where does that place the odds at the moment? Does it shift the emphasis to education over baseball? If the player beats the odds in development there are collegiate summer ball leagues he can showcase himself against D1 talent.
