Baseball draft question

It's the current rules in place. Don't advocate to change it. The NCAA is already screwing everything else up.

Yes. Just asking. Doesn’t make sense.

It's not an NCAA rule. It's a MLB rule.

How is it that a player out of high school who is 17 or 18 years old can be drafted, but once you enter college, you have to become a certain age before you can enter the draft?

---

because those are the rules.

Is a MLB rule, not NCAA

quote:

---

Makes sense that a good rule doesn’t come from the NCAA.

---

The rules of when you can enter the NFL draft and NBA draft are respectfully NFL & NBA rules. The NCAA has nothing to do with them.

They are collective bargaining agreements between the leagues and the player unions.

To quote Winston Scott - "Rules. Without them, we live with the animals".

Id like to believe John Wick penned that quote too but it was Socrates.

"without rules we are nothing but animals".

---

Makes perfect sense.. ya go outta high school or if not you know your in college for a few years it's not that difficult.

Or you can go the JUCO route and you are eligible every June. Back in the day there was a January draft in addition to the June draft. It was for HS graduates not currently enrolled, JUCO players or D-1 players who dropped out. I played in HS and JC with a guy that wasn't drafted out of HS but was drafted 4 times in JC and after his Jr. year at UNO before he eventually signed.
