The New York Yankees picked up some college prospects on Sunday.
After an MLB Draft like no other, which only went five rounds deep, there’s a pool of collegiate talent left over the likes of which has never been seen before.
High school players who went undrafted can simply enroll in a college program next year and try their luck three years down the road, unless they feel jilted by the MLB’s process. But college players whose senior years have ended, or who have been squeezed off scholarship by incoming freshmen, have instead entered the minor-league system in unprecedented fashion, choosing their own destinations.
