re: LSU Baseball 2023 (and beyond) Recruiting Thread - Old Thread - Please unpin

I chose a round at random from last year to not try to pick one that fit a narrative. Went with 12th round.

of the 30 selections, 4 were HS, 3 were JUCO, and 23 were college. Of the 4 from HS, 1 did not sign. Of the 23 from college, 1 did not sign. Everyone else signed.

Of the 3 HS draftees to sign:
All 3 went over slot for a total of $282.5K and an average of $94K/player.

Of the 3 JUCO draftees:
All 3 signed at or under slot of $125K.

Of the 22 college draftees to sign:
17 signed at or under slot of $125K.
5 signed over slot (including Pineda $22.5K over, Gervase $45K over, and Fristoe from MSU $147.5K over) for a total of $252.5K and an average of $50K/player.

I also went to look to try to breakdown the over and under slots by college players with eligibility left and those without, but the MLB site had Pineda as not having any eligibility left (but we know he did because of COVID), so I stopped tabulating because I did not want to provide incorrect data. I will say that there were several college players both juniors and a sophomore that clearly had eligibility left that signed at or below the slot value of $125K.

My point still stands but I'm now curious of it on a more macro level.
