Is there any data on the percentage of high school and college picks that where either all stars or at least mlb regulars? Looking up no data I would think more college draft picks end up being mlb regulars but have no idea which group would produce the most all stars.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Baseball Prospectus goes over a lot of that here:
high school vs college
Mixed results.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->College players taken in the first three rounds are about 50% more likely to reach the majors than high school players;
College players, on average, yield about 55% more value than high school players drafted with the same pick.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That tells me just about all I need to know
