I always have a fascination with young players who are selection in the last few rounds of the First-Year Player Draft. Often, they are “take a chance” picks for high school players who most likely will not sign. Two such players that may well have been steals had they signed with the Dodgers after being selected in the last three rounds of the 2018 draft opted to go to college. Right-handers Connery Peters and Ben Specht pretty much made it known they were going to college but why not roll the dice? Late round picks are also often made in deference to members of the organization.
