6 thoughts on “Prep Focused White Sox Could Target High School Arm in June Draft”
A big reason for prioritizing college prospects over high school talent is leverage. A college player eligible for the MLB June Draft as a junior and especially as a senior has less leverage than a prep star with a college scholarship in hand. This is notably important for projected first round talent. I don’t recall seeing this mentioned in the article nor did I notice that Jared Kelley has a verbal commitment to a big time college baseball program with the University of Texas.
Jared Kelley has a college commitment because all of the top HS guys do. He would prefer to sign and go pro though, which is why I didn’t mention the college commitment.
Why is Jake Burger not playing spring games? Now what the f%&%k!

Jake Burger is in minor league camp. We’ll see if he participates in games once they start on the minor league side.
Thanks for the reply. Jeesh! Thought he was hurt again. Minor league camp is a good sign, right? And they will play their own games later? Good. Can’t wait.
