Conclusions
● On average, players drafted in the first round perform better when drafted out of
high school (both pitcher and hitter).
● Hitters improve their performance more if they are drafted out of college rather than
high school.
● Pitchers performance considering debut age and experience seems the be the
same for high school and college players.
● Players perform better over their career when debuted early and players who have
spent too much time in the minors lose potential, particularly for high school hitters.
● Multivariable regression analysis: HS pitchers = high risk, high reward and HS
hitters have an early turnaround but college hitters can retain potential in minors.
