MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

[Andy]

You guys are all better than me at the Internet. I'm having a hard time finding the answer to a question. I need the comparative numbers for all active players throughout MLB and the minor league system for how many signed contracts after being drafted out of high school and how many after being drafted out of college.

 

Anyone able to help with that?

If you go to page 9, you'll see a chart comparing HS and College drafted players.  The research was done in 2012 using data from 2002-2005 drafts (but only the first 10 rounds).  With the fact that it was only the first 10 rounds, it may not give the best interpretation.
