Yes, but are they not entitled to some form of risk mitigation?
The risk mitigation would be to not let yourself get fleeced by Scott Boras, instead of rigging the entire system to delay the free agency of every single player until past their physical peak.

This isn’t necessarily true. The best players will still reach the majors at around 22 years old.

It’s smart. Remove all those levels and just have one minor league team. Let colleges develop them for free.
A kid playing in the SEC or ACC is a lot easier to evaluate than a high school kid hitting off 70 mph fastballs.

What year did you graduate if they were maxing out at 70 mph

It's important to remember that the person you responded to is a genuine retard.
And all the people that want this change to happen are on the same side of the argument as him.

Do you think HS pitchers max out at 70?

In theory, yes. It’s pretty much accepted that the development in college is vastly different than affiliated ball. College coaches will let a pitcher throw 115 pitches. That ain’t happening in minor league ball. There are some philosophical differences.

We played against a kid in high school that threw upper 90's. Ended up making it to AAA with the Blue Jays organization. Heck, I could throw 70 when I pitched and I didn't have a great fastball.

I graduated in 2006 and guys were sitting 85-90. Elite guys throwing harder than that obviously. I can still run it up to 80 sometimes
Guy must be ancient.

Correct. The top guys getting drafted out of high school don’t play against good competition in summer tournaments, travel teams, or showcase events. Yep, the guys getting drafted high and millions of dollars only play against the local high school teams

Great news for LSU given the number of high school kids they loose to the draft.

#1 reason mlb is doing this= loss of revenue in milb and trying to save millions across the board in mlb. End of story.
Say anything you want to believe about why. Money is "always" why.

I like it. I expect college baseball to get way more popular

Why no high school players allowed?
Sounds like it is sort of a trade off. They are lowering the entry to the sophomore year, but now they are kind of forcing HS players to play college now.

That’s a really smart move IMO. I think the NBA has abandoned a huge potential fanbase in college basketball that would follow college basketball players in the NBA. This creates people that will follow their favorite college baseball players in MLB. I know I became an Astros fan because of Bregman.
Doesn’t hurt that they aren’t taking as much of a chance on college kids and are letting colleges pick up some of the development.
It should also help make college baseball better (talent wise) which makes it more interesting and grows the sport overall.

I think it’s great except they are reducing the draft pool money too much.

This will probably cut out some portal flip flopping also. Coaches going to be saving majority of NIL money for the studs that would have normally gotten drafted really high.
