These are the benchmark numbers I've always gone back to. In my personal observations over the years, it is fantastically difficult to see talented college players not get drafted, drafted players languish in the minors waiting for their opportunity, and satisfying to see someone I know (finally) get on an MLB roster. It takes unbelievable talent, timing, dedication and luck.

But the same can be said for any profession, it takes hard work, dedication and a whole lot of luck. Having an education, family business, or other plans to fall back on is never a bad thing. JMO.
