Please keep us posted on his progress! Would he consider Stanford or possibly signing a professional contract should he be drafted in the first 3 rounds of 2014, provided the team that drafts him offer to pay for four years at Harvard after his playing days come to a close?
MLB pays for education, with some wrinkles not relevant here. The biggest hurdle to your idea from the education side (leaving aside the effect of the CBA on HS picks), is Harvard will not leave the offer of admission open-ended. While Harvard will allow a student to defer matriculation (called a gap year) for a year - or even two - the offer of admission will not be open-ended. (At least that is the case with one of Harvard's peers in the case of the MLB draft.).
One other note: the Ivy's athletic recruits go through admissions to get in. As a 2014, there can be no slacking in grades or scores.

I am confused on how a 2014 has committed to an Ivy school at this early stage. My understanding is that Ivy's cant make offers until the completion of junior academic year? So if no offer how can he commit? Usually June/July at the earliest for an Ivy offer and then the player still needs to get the October 1 Likely letter.
Congrats to the player but could someone explain how a 2014 can commit prior to completion of Junior year?
Sounds like a huge talent!!

WHAT DID THE IVY OFFER----they have no scholarships
who took away the original post? uh-oh.
I'm sure he'll be back with video highlights from his latest bullpen session produced by Stephen Spielberg. Stay tuned!
Our job is to know who the top players are. So when I read the OP and had never heard of the kid I got curious. So I called Joe Walsh and asked him about the kid. He had no idea who the kid was, never heard of him.
I googled the kids name and found a few links. They were all message boards. All about top colleges still waging a recruiting war over the young phenom who had commited to Harvard.
Very strange stuff! Is someone just trying to have some fun? I hope it's not someone trying to promote the kid, because that is going to backfire.
