[QUOTE="gtbeak, post: 1000871, member: 3164"] I did a quick look at this based on last season at the MLB level. There were 39 hitters who accumulated 2.0 or greater fWAR at the age of 25 or lower. Of those 39, 13 were drafted out of high school, 13 were drafted out of college, and 13 were signed as international free agents. There were 34 pitchers 25 or younger who threw at least 50 innings and put up an ERA+ of 100 or higher. Of those, 7 were drafted out of high school, 15 were drafted out of college, and 12 were signed as international free agents. This datapoint says to me it doesn't make too much of a difference for hitters if they choose the college route or going pro out of high school, but pitchers seem to be advantaged by going the college route. To be honest, I expected the opposite, but the facts are the facts. Is my definition of solid, young MLB player a good one? [/QUOTE]
