My nephew did what you describe. Drafted as a senior signee by the twins. Played three years in the minors. (rookie league, Single A midwest, Single A south). He loved it.Good news all the way around. If he advances 1/2 as much as he did this year he will move well in the draft and $ that come with it.
It has to be a hard choice for these kids. I would have walked over coals and endured the bus rides, crappy motels, and bad food for a chance to play ball all summer for chump change. I think they call it living the dream.

One thing I don't understand about the baseball draft...............I know it's the 37th round, but.......wouldn't it make sense for Seattle to contact Barr prior to drafting him to see if he would come out if they drafted him in that round? And the question applies to all drafted players, HS or college, especially those in the middle rounds.....Are they not allowed to make contact prior to the draft? If you're ML baseball, why don't you wait until college baseball has concluded to have your draft, if they can't contact them during the season?

Let's hope that number is really high. If he comes back and has a full year healthy where he hits over .300 and has double digit HR's, he will easily jump up about 20 rounds.https://www.courierpress.com/story/...ted-40th-round-pittsburgh-pirates/1360551001/
I stand corrected. The linked article indicates the Pirates had several calls with Dunham prior to the draft and that he intends to sign if they offer what he told them he wanted before they drafted him. Also says he would be happy to return to IU if the Pirates don’t.
I knew Elijah’s grandfather and was sad to find out he passed away couple of years ago, Frank would have enjoyed this immensely.
