Proposed Baseball Draft System With School Grad Drafts
A proposal suggests organized baseball avoid signing school or college players until graduation. Each club would gain rights to a set number of graduating class players and maintain a negotiation list of undergrads, preventing other clubs from dealing for them. Separate lists for high schools and colleges would exist, with dynamic name changes curbing bidding, and graduates preferring education would move to college lists.
Fair Exchange Buoys College Baseball Program Plans
The proposal envisions colleges strengthening baseball by coaching and competing, plus backing a summer state to extend play through autumn. It suggests possible tweaks to eligibility rules to keep the effort above board and to satisfy schools and leagues alike.
