@CoachLisle These don’t say anything about whether vision was corrected or not. Visual skill and vision aren’t the same. I have the visual skill with a corrected vision of someone with 20/13 vision.
@PPetesStache@dead_baseball Ex minor leaguer here, you’re not too far off. It’s more like the P4 conferences have better talent than 80% of everything below AAA. 10% of the rest is international players and 10% are the ones who figured it out at comm college or HS.
@Seth_3773@CoachEidell lol they already started it, it’s called banana ball. There’s plenty of mens leagues around too. I think it’s funny you think there are enough players around that don’t want to play college ball that are even remotely close to being pro level talent.
@alixonmartinez2 You’re talking about the 1% of the 1%. Maybe a couple dozen players at most, per year, are capable of coming out of HS and competing at a decent level in the pros immediately.
@Guillermo_UC_@SmokeyApproved@JeffPassan Rays always have some good minor league pipelines. I want to see the pirates kids live but I don’t think I’ll see them.
@Guillermo_UC_@SmokeyApproved@JeffPassan I work for the White Sox A team and it’s painful to watch some of the games. Guys batting .150 with zero pop. Pitchers walking bases loaded. It’s bad sometimes.
@Guillermo_UC_@SmokeyApproved@JeffPassan Stats will not tell you much about minor leaguers. In rookie ball, you can get called up because you throw a lot of strikes and compete in the zone, regardless of velocity. Your stats mean nothing at that level.
@Guillermo_UC_@SmokeyApproved@JeffPassan They don’t keep the Paul Skenes of the world in AAA to beat up on people for fun. Nick Kurtz hit .320 in 20 games less than a year removed from wake forest in AAA. No minor league level will compare to the Bigs. Minors are to guide you through organizational expectations.
@ColeyMick MLB draft and NBA draft are completely different. You have better odds of making the bigs if you’re a college kid drafted in the top 5 rounds.
@Guillermo_UC_@SmokeyApproved@JeffPassan Not irrelevant lol. College kids is the top 5 rounds have a greater chance of making it to the bigs and SEC schools have about 40% of players get drafted. Your best odds to get to the MLB is to play in the SEC. International, HS and every other level of NCAA don’t last as long
