The baseball season has come to a halt, not just in the professional ranks but across the college and high school game, which serves as a proving ground and scouting hotbed for potential professional talent in the MLB Draft.
According to Baseball America, the MLB Draft will go as scheduled, but with a dramatic cut in financing amateur talent acquisition, MLB has cut the number of rounds to five, meaning an 86 percent reduction in the amount of players taken. Players will be able to attend showcases, workout with individual teams, and likely seem some form of game action before the draft.
