He's clearly not going to end up in the MLB.
There is no way you can say that. Eric Kratz is one of the former D3 Catchers who went on to MLB.
It is unlikely that any college player makes it to MLB, but you can never say it with certainty that a player cannot do it.
The bigger point though, is to not underestimate the skills of MLB Scouts. They will find you in D3 just as easily as D1

Sure, anything can happen and meteors can strike anywhere. But it's unrealistic to think otherwise in this case. He wasn't drafted out of HS. He wasn't picked up by a D1. He's not being courted now by any top D1s. It's about a safe a bet as there is that he's not MLB material. One has to weigh these odds against the costs when making these decisions.
