re: So who's baseball signing class is getting roughed up by the draft?

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.
