RJM posted:When I was in college I asked a scout why there were (then) sixty rounds to the draft. He said it was so the top twenty picks, the prospects have teammates.
I read about five years ago 84% of American MLBers come from the top ten rounds. Another 94% come from rounds 11-20. I’ll bet almost everyone who beats those odds (drafted 21-40) is a late blooming pitcher.
Also some corner guys who don't stop hitting (like tyler white).
