Entering the Draft

The player does not enter the draft himself. His name is turned into MLB for consideration, either by a team or the MLB area scout, but that does not necessarily mean a pick. There are approximately 1500 slots available. 30 teams by 50 rounds = 1500 if teams remain in that long.

What's next is that your son has a good season and possibly get a chance to play pro ball!

Another aspect here since he is in college if he is is in a NCAA program---he cannot be drafted until after his junior year (NCAA Regulations)--- or unless he meets certain age requirements

the only draft eligible players for the 2008 draft with be
high school class of 2008
JUCO players
College class of 2008 and 2009
and player who are 21 yrs.

If he at a 4 year college they are just putting you in their follow file. What college are you at anyways

Thanks for the follow up guys on what I missed.

Thank You for the input. He's JUCO, so I guess he would be eligible. 91 mph lefty with upside.I agree on both the College Career and the Good Season. If he works hard on both sides...let the cards fall where they will!

what JUCO is he at
