Where are they now?

Bryan,
What is your email addy? I follow it.

I will email info to you on the USA 16U National Team from 2000. Delmon Young & James Loney being the notable big leaguers from that team.

Of the 18 kids on the 2000 USA 16U Roster, about 1/3 did not attend college, signing out of HS, a third graduated college, a third signed after Jr year of college. There is another 1st yr MLB (with LA Dodgers!). Many are out of MiLB! Maybe four did not get drafted!

cheers
Bear

Not sure where they all are now, that would take a lot of work.

At the top is the 2000 USA Youth roster – 16U

These players entered the 2002 and 2003 draft.

Below is the high school players selected in the first two rounds of those drafts.

Note: Several of the players who did not make the 2000 youth team later played on the USA Junior team. There are always many different players making the 18U team who did not play on the 16U team. Many of those drafted in the first and second rounds did not play for Team USA at any age bracket. If we look at the 2000 16U roster, this was a good year with several players who went on to do well in college and/or professional baseball.

Not sure what your criterion/definition is for 'good year'.

Statistically, of the eighteen USA 2000 16U roster players, the following is revealed:
8 = number of players not attending college after HS
3 = number of players obtaining four years of college education
10 = number of players attending college after HS
4 = number of players NOT drafted
14 = number of players drafted and signed
10 = number of players projected to be out of MiLB in 2010 (awaiting assignment & contracts).
3 = number of 1st rounders drafted and signed in 2002 or 2003
4 = number of players in MLB
4 = number of players currently in MiLB


77% of these 16U players getting drafted and signing a MiLB contract is, for me, average (or a 'C').


90% of the USA 16U players getting drafted and signing a MiLB contract is, for me, good ("A") and
80% is way above average ("B").


Surprisingly, the number of 1st rounders in the big leagues reveals, for me, a pretty good year.

Also the number of players not drafted (22%), the number of players out of MiLB baseball (77%), and the number of players not attending college (55%) is equally surprising.

What may be worth examining, is to observe and analyze the trends of the 2000 USA 16U team with the other USA 16U teams within the decade, if able.

Here is the same chart using the 1999 Youth Team and the 2001 2002 MLB Drafts.

May the proverb, apply to you.
I can lead them to the water,
Unable to get them to drink it.

Maybe google the subject federated databases.

What????

What findings have you observed from such list?
Or do you simply avoid the hard work part!

Huh?

I was simply supplying some information, others can observe what ever they want from that. But seeing that you asked... Guess it looks like many of the very best prospects did not play for the USA Youth team, for one reason or another. Of course that stands to reason being they are picking kids who are 16 or younger. It also looks like they did a great job of selecting very good players to those teams. Many others, much more of them, actually did play for the USA Junior Team at some point. That also makes sense being those players are better known by that age.

No one on here has ever mentioned avoiding hard work before. BTW, It took a little work (not hard work) just putting together the lists above and I already have a job. Guess I never considered anything here as being work. Sorry, I'm not very good at decyphering code.

Hey PG, I know your efforts are greatly appreciated by virtually everyone who visits this site. Thank you for your contributions!
