He's not draft eligible he's back

OK so I don't keep up with MLB draft rules.

So let me get this straight. A kid can go straight out of high school to MLB but a soph in college can't? OK that makes lots of sense.

You either go straight out of HS or if you go to college- you have to go for 3 years or until you're 21. That should the rule for all sports

I agree with the last part and it makes sense to also do across all sports but the first part make no sense at all.

So you can go as an immature 18 year old and an older more mature but can go in the middle? Stupid. I guess using today's progressive logic.

It's what we have been doing in baseball for almost 50 years - so how is it today's progressive logic? To me it is not about maturity - it's about commitment. If you are good enough to get drafted by any sport at 18, great go for it. But, if you sign to play in college you are signing a contract just like you would for the team that drafted you. I think 3 years is a reasonable commitment to make - especially now if you are allowed a 1 time transfer without sitting out. It think along with that, you should be draft eligible in all sports after 3 years and not have to declare or risk eligibility for your possible 4th and 5th seasons (if you redshirted). This has worked very well for baseball, and would work just as well for the NBA and NFL

Not about the age of the rule. It has no logic. If a soph isn't mature enough, how is a high school kid? They don't let kids do it in football? Why not? Who determines maturity? It ain't about age. Again no logic. That is the progressive part - there is no logic. Newsflash, progressives, leftist etc. have been around longer than 50 years.
