This is a follow-up on something mentioned in passing when I was writing about the Touki Tossaint trade: I noted that no high-school pitcher chosen with the 16th pick like Toussaint, had ever become an "ace", or even had a career worth 10 WAR. It was pointed out, and it is fair criticism, that this was a narrow selection, and just one pick away, you could find the likes of Roy Halladay, who certainly were successful. So, I decided to dig into things a little further. Hey, it's an off-day and I couldn't find anything that grabbed me on Netflix.
How successful are mid-first round high-school pitchers?
