Reply to "Choosing 4 over 40"

Attending the right academic college opens doors professionally. Attending the right baseball college opens doors professionally (higher draft position). 84% of American MLBers come from the first ten rounds.

The rest with talent can still kick down the doors. In either case the one from the right door opener is going to receive more opportunity and more benefit of the doubt.

A friend’s son was hitting .290 with 20+ homers and 80+ RBI’s between AA and AAA. When a call up occurred a player hitting .240 with two homers got the call. The dad told me there were a million reason$ the lesser proven player got the call.

From starting in sales in a major corporation out of the gate there were higher expectations of the earliest, most qualified hires. But, after extensive training it became about who produced.
