The MLB Draft tends to be a bit difficult to grasp for a number of reasons. Players rarely graduate to the parent club. The player names are unfamiliar. Many baseball fans don’t like college or minor league baseball. However, another is that nobody tries to make the draft accessible. The experts like to say, “This kid has a 60 fastball.” Meanwhile, he goes to Rookie League Ball, and sports an ERA of 7.38. It’s a bit of a cloistered language, if that makes any sense. Therefore, those who don’t dig the intricacies of the scouting jargon/lingo are left out.
