Wow! Interesting article. Unfortunately son's HS teammate was one of the statistics. Was drafted in 2012 out of HS (94 mph FB) and 4 years later was let go (2nd violation of the drug policy - 50 game suspension and the team let him go). He had made it as far a Short A I believe and was up to 98 mph (broke 100 mph a few times), but still had control issues (struck out as many as he walked). Today he works construction.
