putting this here for reference in case anyone is interested:

Each club's 2023 MLB Draft bonus pools and pick values

When the Pirates won MLB's first-ever Draft Lottery in December, they didn't just secure the No. 1 overall pick in 2023. They also landed the highest assigned pick value in Draft history and the third-highest bonus pool ever. The assigned values for the 2023 Draft have risen 9.9 percent compared

Any chance these high-value HS players make it to campus?

I would have pegged Deleo a lot higher.

Not sure he had fully recovered from being injured last season. That’s probably impacted his ratings somewhat.

I would say Drake has the highest chance of making it to campus.

I would have pegged Deleo a lot higher.

He is a lot higher on other lists.

Generally top 100 HS rated guys go. My bad memory is like 90% most years when I checked.

I think the players have made known that they will go if drafted and I think that also plays into the rankings.

Draft has become primarily college players and this draft is a college heavy draft. There are some talented preps in this draft (GT happens to have 4) but they usually demand large sums of money. Player rankings and sign ability are two entirely different things. So we will see what happens this weekend and next week.

Hoping Burress and Anderson slide but I’ve been following Peete awhile and really wanted him on campus

Looks/feels like a lot more HS players drafted this year. I guess you gotta get them in the 1st 2 in order to have a chance to sign them.....
+ Picks by Conference:
SEC: 13
ACC: 12
B1G: 5
PAC: 4
Big 12: 1
Other: 8

+ Of the 70 selections, there were 43 four-year college selections and 27 preps. None were from junior college.
