MLB Draft Podcast

Should you sign a professional contract or head to campus?

This is the decision every high school or college player with eligibility will make this upcoming June. This looming decision will have a dramatic impact on the trajectory of your baseball career and life. How prepared and confident are you that you would make the right decision?

Many factors should be considered when deciding to sign a professional contract; however, for the majority of players, it’s a question of money.

The question the industry is asking is, “What’s Your Number?”

The reality is: everyone has a different “number,” and there is a lot of work that should go into it.

This will be the most significant financial decision of your life. How much you sign for, the taxes you pay, and what you do with that money will have enormous consequences.

So how much is enough?

In episode two, we breakdown the process of what it takes to determine your number. We believe if you follow the process we layout, you can have a lot of confidence going into draft day. Regardless of where you end up being selected, you will have a definitive path to make the decision that is right for you.
