This one really hits home. I was a high school draft. The professional baseball I grew up in was built on projection and player development. Organizations took chances on talented 18-year olds. They invested in upside. They developed players through the minor leagues. Some became big leaguers. Some became trade pieces. Some never made it. But the opportunity existed. This proposal isn't just about eliminating high school players from the draft. It's also about: • A 40% reduction in draft rounds (20 → 12) • Roughly a 44% reduction in bonus pool spending • Fewer opportunities entering professional baseball I understand MLB's side. Older players are easier to evaluate. They're closer to the big leagues. Development costs are lower. But baseball development isn't linear. Some players are stars at 18. Some are stars at 22. Some don't figure it out until 25. As someone whose life was changed by being a high school draft, I can't help but wonder how many future opportunities disappear if the game moves away from betting on projection and toward only rewarding certainty.⚾️

MLB today proposed an overhauled domestic amateur-entry system that removes high school players from the draft, makes college players eligible after sophomore year, shortens the draft from 20 to 12 rounds, and cuts bonus pool from current $358.7M to $200M, sources tell ESPN.

The College World Series is baseball in its purest form. #CWS Emotion. Passion. Urgency. Pressure. Every pitch matters. Every out matters. Every run matters. No load management. No excuses. No saving it for tomorrow. Just a bunch of competitors laying it on the line for the guy next to them. That's a version of baseball I hope never changes. ⚾️🙌
