Why would a HS guy even consider under slot on day 1 though? Just go to school at that point. Cutter Coffey did last year. It might be underslot, but $1.7M is $1.7M. One of the interviews talked about his mother working two jobs and his day working, I think, the night shift, to allow him to concentrate on baseball, and how he wants to help them in return. Helping his family in 2023 instead of (maybe) 2026 could be very attractive. |

Bosoxnation, don’t u see already a leader . I do. I don’t know to lead a whole team but not one to shy away. He is part of the solution not part of the problem. |

Helping his family in 2023 instead of (maybe) 2026 could be very attractive. Travel teams and being "on the circuit" to impress the scouts against top competition is expensive. Pair that with the fact that baseball scholarships are rarely full rides( he would probably need to qualify for need-based assistance to cover the balance after a partial scholarship), and turning pro immediately eliminates expenses for his parents regardless of bonus size. |
