Midlo Son was a very highly regarded prospect when he left high school in 2008. Injuries in college derailed his college playing opportunities and his pro hopes as well. He graduated on time with a business degree in May 2012 and is now having great success as a sales rep in Manhattan.

I'm not sure if baseball caused this or just provided the vehicle for his pre-existing disposition for the years prior to graduation, but the main thing is, he came to adulthood understanding how to get up every morning, seek challenges, and do what was required of him and more; how to set goals, surpass them and then set new goals; and most importantly, how to overcome setbacks and make life decisions needed to find new life direction when necessary.

It also certainly helps that he was conditioned to avoid wasting his days on FaceBook, excessive TV, video games, etc.
