This program’s targets the top eighty rising seniors. It’s all about the draft. It will have zero effect on 17u baseball and recruiting. All these players will have gone through the process and been college committed before being rising seniors.
Its really nothing more than a three week showcase. MLB isn’t saving the youth. They’re better scrutinizing top two round prospects. This is all for the benefit of minimizing mistakes in the first two rounds of the draft.
Look at the hypocrisy if you believe MLB is doing this to save the youth. It’s only for top prospects. Yet MLB does next to nothing financially for their signed minor leaguers.
