@douglassmc2023 I love this goal as it is very similar to mine! I know you are just getting your collegiate career underway and would love to help if you have any questions!
@samlucpin I think it would be really cool to one day play something that you created or helped create! I friend of mine has done something like that before and I’d be happy to hook you up with him!
66% of 1st Round MLB draft picks will play at least 1 day in the Big Leagues. (34% never make it)
49% of 2nd Round MLB draft picks will play at least 1 day in the Big Leagues. (51% never make it)
Out of those players, less than half will ever make it to Arbitration (3 years of service time).
Out of those players, less than a third will ever make it to Free Agency (6 years of service time).
Getting drafted is just the first step in the journey.
The three things I would focus on:
1. Find a team of people that are in it for you.
2. Treat every $$$ like it is the last you might earn in baseball.
3. Enjoy the journey, it won't always be smooth but it is worth it.
Something that will never get old is meeting new players in the professional world. It’s always cool to hear how different someone’s path might be! #RealityCheck#hello

Great to hear a similar perspective from someone else! Don’t think this video could’ve nailed the “business” aspect of the transition to professional baseball any better! #levelup
Living the baseball lifestyle has been a very unique experience. Everything that I have been a part of at the University of Iowa has helped prepare me to continue the journey at the next level!
I am hoping to shed some light on the lifestyle of a professional baseball player and what the transition from college to pro looks like! I’m looking to help guide other that might go down a similar path! #LeadingtheWay
