So, if a kid turns 21 within 45 days of the draft, they would be draft eligible as a sophomore.

We won't know the exact date until maybe January (when MLB schedules it), but I can give an estimation based on this years draft:

6/11/2018 seems like the most likely draft date based on previous years so a player would need to turn 21 by 7/28/2018. That means the cutoff birthday is 7/28/1997 (feel old mother frickers).

Any soph with a birthday before that will be draft eligible.

Here is that list:
Nick Bush (Redshirt)
Zachary Hess
Zach Watson
Jake Slaughter

And that's just barely even an early birthday for a sophomore. If he's a holdback, he was born in 96'.
That rule is ridiculous.
Eta. So what freshman CANNOT get drafted next year?

Thanks Project. I overlooked Bush but take another look at Eric Walker...I think he will be 21 on August 17....does that go past the 45 days?
