Baseball signs self limit to protect students future
Organized baseball reached an agreement with the NCAA and the college coaches to stop signing players before their sophomore year. The plan aims to keep students in school, noting a 75 percent education completion rate among signees and that 8 percent never stay in baseball. It provides a 15 month free search period after high school graduation, allowing top players to finish degrees.
