Playing college baseball after minor leagues?

MN-MomHSBaseballWeb Owner

Are my eyes deceiving me, or can this really be done?

In 2004 a player from our area who my son had played against was drafted out of HS in the middle rounds. He has minor league stats for 2004 and 2005. I'm not sure if he played in the minor leagues in 2006 or not.

But a few days ago a local college (D2) listed him in a story about players who have signed to play for them this year (2007).

I thought that signing a pro contract made a player ineligible for NCAA competition. How can a player who has been in MiLB later play for a D2 college?
