it's sad to see the only thing UT baseball has to cheer about is their top guys in the MLB draft.

LSU will lose #4 overall pick Riley Pint.
Pro scouts say they clocked Pint throwing 102 mph strikes in high school games recently.

If I'm a HS baseball player and I get offered 500k or more to go pro I'm going pro. Just to much guarenteed money to say no. Pint will get close to 5 mil guarentee no matter what happens to his arm after he signs. He would be a fool to say no

The thing about baseball - particularly pitchers - is that we are learning, generally speaking, an arm has a set number of pitches in it.
but the kid would probably get more pitches in the minors than in college (assuming he went to a program that takes care of their pitchers arms). mostly I watch LSU but our starters get about 7 days rest between starts and generally don't go over 100 pitches. statistically you may be correct about the life span of a pitchers arm but your premise of that's why they go pro out of high school isn't. they go pro out of high school because they get millions of dollars signing bonus and generally their college payed for if it doesn't work out.

One of our players put it best. "There aren't any sorority houses in minor league ball. Go to College."

I go to minor league games all the time. The dimes are there in packs and you know some of them are after some ball player D. If your in the minors you can probably slay at the parks.
