How do you convert high school baseball stats to college and mlb?
Question:My friend hit .588 with 18 homeruns and 12 doubles/ 44 rbi in 25 games his junior year of high school. Colleges are gonna give him a free ride. MLB scouts show up to mostly every game. Stanford, USC, Florida State, and Arizona State are gonna give him an academic scholorship but he hates school and wants $$$$. I am on the team and we face prep schools and good teams with pitchers usually throwing 70-95 70 is a change up. I averaged it out over a 162 game mlb season by cutting his average by 50% to .294 58 hrs 39 doubles and 142 rbis. He is 6-3 210 lbs Alex Rodriquez build. I am curious. Scouts are offering signing bonuses 1 million+

There fields are pretty much the same, it is just the extra 10 or so feet that differs in the stadium outfield fence.I think the biggest difference will be the competition, and the work effort. He will have to put in a lot more in collage, and MLB than high school. And have to hit the weights more and all that.
I suggest that he chooses a collage, and gets whatever education he wants, and then starts in mlb. Because if some major injury happens, and he can' play baseball he will have no foundation for a job, and be screwed.
1million, that is a lot of money, but he will get more if he goes to collage and plays the extra four years.

There is no real way to convert them over to MLB stats because he is playing in HS. His stats are All State numbers though. I would goto school for a few years to work vs better competition and that will convert into a better draft position which means more $$$$. Semarja from Notre Dame was the 8th pick I think and he recieved a bonus of 10 mil plus a 3 year contract worth that amount. Arizona st. would be my choice because they are a great baseball school and play vs some of the best competiton.More Questions & Answers...
