Probability Of Playing
College and Professional Baseball
Here's another "making it to college baseball and the pros"
probability table that I found while going through some information
from the NCAA. These make good food for thought when you have a
student-athlete that is more interested in sports than in the
classroom.
Baseball
- Less than three in 50, or about 5.6 percent, of high school senior
boys interscholastic baseball players will go on to play men's baseball
at a NCAA member institution.
- Less than eleven in 100, or about 10.5 percent, of NCAA senior
male baseball players will get drafted by a Major League Baseball
(MLB) team.
- Approximately one in 200, or approximately 0.5 percent of high
school senior boys playing interscholastic baseball will eventually
be drafted by an MLB team.
