Reply to "Draft Statistics"

I dont think I am going to answer exactly what you are asking but here are some fun numbers.

Draft Numbers – source 2009 mlb draft tracker

Round 1 (32)
15 - 4 Y (1so), 16 HS , 1 indi player.

Round 1A (17)
12 4 year (1 so), 4 hs , 1 indi player

Round 2 (31)
12 4Y (2 sr, 1 so), 1 CC (j2), 18 hs

Round 3 (30)
17 4Y (2sr), 3 CC (J1, 2J2), 10 hs

Comp B (1)
1 hs

Round 4 (30)
17 4Y (1fr, 1 so, 5 sr), 4 jc (j1,2j2,1j3), 9 hs

Round 5 (30)
23 4Y (5 sr), 7 hs


171 players drafted thru 5 rounds
96 4 year university players (19 of them were not juniors)
65 high school seniors
2 independents
8 JC players
Observations – number of hs players drafted reduced by round 20,18,11,9,7 – number of college players stayed consistent or increased by round.
Numbers:
56% of players drafted in rounds 1-5 were 4 year college players
80% of 4 year college players drafted were juniors.
38% of players drafted in rounds 1 -5 were hs seniors
Slightly less than 5% of players drafted in rounds 1-5 were JC players

I will do rounds 6 - 10 and see how the trends move.
