I know high six figures low 7 is tough to turn down but after taxes and living on 1100$ a month for several years it isn't nearly as much as it sounds.
It depends on if you get enough to buy a house, car, and get your school paid for after a few years in the minors. You need to get enough money to make that worth it combined with the chance to make the MLB goes down by skipping college. More active MLB players now went to college than straight out of high school. I might be wrong but I thought I saw 60% of MLB players went to college. If you then look at foreign players then American born players more than likely need to go to college to be successful.

If you are good enough, the money will be there in 3 years too + you have enhanced your chances of making MLB.
