a senior sign, low round pick or free agent deal after the draft?
Let's face it, you don't necessarily have to hit to make it as long as you can handle the pitching staff and call pitches.
I think he can definitely handle the mental side of the game.

He can definitely handle the mental side of the game, along with his composure. I think he will definitely be a great baseball coach for many years because of those two traits.

He would be a great bullpen catcher. It could also help him get into coaching.

Probably not. His defensive ability doesn't cancel his lack of power at the plate when it comes to the pro game.

He might stick around as a late round pick in the minors, but I think his future is in coaching. Pretty sure JJ has said that himself

If I had to put money on it, Milazzo will be coaching as a GA next year, maybe at LSU

if he wants to entertain the idea, sure, he can catch a few years in low ball. The always need catchers.

No shot to play at upper levels though.

He has zero shot of making it pro, he'd be lucky to ever see AAA.

He's got coaching in his future.

If he truly intends to enter coaching, this would be very valuable experience for him.

I think Indy Ball would be more likely than affiliated ball though.

I could see him sticking around in the low minors for years just to help with the young pitchers and then graduate into a coaching job when he's done playing. 60-70 catcher ability helps a lot

He should get some minor experience to give him some cred but his future path is coaching.

The day after the season ends, Milazzo will be looking for a job in whatever field he graduated in.

I remember talking to Jordy Snikeris after a regional loss, and that’s exactly what he told me he was going to do.

It’s not impossible but I’d say the chances are low. Jay has mentioned before that he’s going to get into coaching so seems like his best bet would be to start that chapter now
