Juco and the draft

[RutherfordBHayes]

Can someone explain to me how one is draft eligible after one year in juco?

I thought draft eligible was:
-after senior year of high school
-after juco (2 years)
-after you turn 21
-after 3rd year at 4 year school
-after 4th year at 4 year school
-after 5th year at 4 year school

JUCO players are draft eligible no matter how many years of school completed.

As long as I can remember, you can be drafted after each Juco year.

Will he go to JUCO though? State would pay for any surgery right? I sire his family has the means to pay it but if I could get it free then why not?

Also considering they low balled him the braves must know rehab would take some time. A year of JUCO might not be enough to heal. Seems to me if it rehab were less than a year Braves would have been more helpful with the contract.

Then again I don't know **** about baseball and I'm just thinking out loud.

He threw after the injury and was fine.

More akin to the shoulder concerns the Blue Jays had about Brady Singer after drafting him out of high school that basically won Florida a national championship. The Braves seem to think is or will become a big deal. And it might. But it hasn't messed with his performance so far and also might not. There is going to be more to the story.

Got it. I didn’t know juco freshmen were eligible.

My thoughts are if he’s hurt enough that he won’t be able to pitch much in the next year, he signs with MSU. If he believes he’ll be fine, he signs juco.

Juco will not have good facilities, equipment, medical attention. rehab facilities, housing, food, athletic apparel/gear, etc.
MSU has the best of all of that. Huge difference in lifestyle on the two different campuses when you consider housing, meal options, atmosphere, and MSU baseball players gets thousands of dollars in free gear every year that juco simply can’t provide. One year is awfully short though.

I don’t think he even knows what he’s going to do, per his tweet.

Hope he picks us, but I get it if he doesn’t. We need to hire a very solid pitching coach, and Lemonis will have a pretty good challenge in getting him on campus.. but I’m glad we still have a legit shot at him at this point.

He could start in a game right now.This isn't about what is an issue,but what could be an issue in the future.

Why would he know? We don’t even have his potential pitching coach in place. Doesn’t even know who it may be. The whole situation is an obvious recipe for “wait and see”. Ginn was a huge outlier in how these things usually work.

Thats my point; people saying he’s for sure going JUCO have no idea what they are talking about.
