Yes, it’s crazy hard to make it. Seems like a lot of the stars in the bigs , we’ve never ever heard of in college. There is a large contingent coming from DR, Cuba, and other international locations.

While you are basically correct on a macro level, you are ignoring the leverage he might gain. Simply put, better players have more leverage. If he could prove he is a first round talent, he would absolutely have more leverage. Scarce resources demand higher prices. Negotiations have worked that way forever too.
Draft slots in mlb have a slot value. It’s not absolute. A high second round college junior could get a higher bonus than a first rd pick. Seniors have zero leverage when drafted. They can’t use the threat to go back to school.

I wouldn’t expect a team to waste a first round pick not wanting to pay the guy. Does that happen often?
Lot of folks in here who don't understand the differences between the MLB and NFL when it comes to leverage, development, etc
