Out of the entire first round, only one position player and three pitchers started above A ball this season. The consensus number 1 pick started at A ball.
There are 299 division 1 baseball teams. Each has ~30 players. There is far less talent in college than in Double A. The talent level at the MLB level has dramstically increased in the last 20 years. This has resulted in more talent in the minors.
Talent in AA is irrelevant to a discussion about a draftee this year.
I made a comment about a kid from Louisville, in the ACC, whose pitched on the CWS having some success at the highest level. Clearly, that's the college level. The amateur level. It'd be pretty hard for him to have success in the minors, when he's in college.
Simple question. Who faces more talent on a regular basis. Louisville or Lewis and Clark? One plays at the highest level, one does not.
