He has more leverage against the team as a draft eligible sophomore, but if a team drafts a guy in the first 10 rounds they likely had discussed a number before the draft.
Why would he come back? We couldn't sniff that with NIL. He was at the top of his game this year. It would be difficult for him to have a better year enough to drastically increase his draft stock.Quote:
Round 3, Pick 81: Ryan Prager (Angels) - Slot Value: $948,600
Serious question: at that slot value, what do you think his contract value would be? Is it a multiple of slot value, mas o menos?PlanoAg98 said:Why would he come back?

Slot Value is a recommendation for a signing bonus. He could get more, if other players take less. Each pick is assigned a value for teams to Pool their money for signings.carl spacklers hat said:Serious question: at that slot value, what do you think his contract value would be?

Time for my annual PSA...if your team has a player or recruit drafted today, even if they dropped, they are almost certainly signing. Orgs aren't in the business of using a pick in the top 10 rounds on a guy they're not signing. There are exceptions every year, but they're rare.

This. I know that there are people who don't follow this subject closely who are not aware of the changes in the last few years, so we are going to see this question every now and then. But, in the current environment, that's the way the draft is operated. The team and the player have agreed on a bonus prior to the pick being announced. Barring some kind of miscommunication or other screw up, when you hear a name called in the first 10 rounds, they are gone.ensign_beedrill said:Time for my annual PSA...if your team has a player or recruit drafted today, even if they dropped, they are almost certainly signing.

Prager could Very easily work himself into a top 35 pick next year with a little development ( 3-4 mph on his fast ball and adding 10-15 pounds to his frame ). Would make a bunch more $$$ next year …. Leading a very good team to another run at a championship . Not impossible IMO .

Because it is true....it's not like he's 15 years old.agie95 said:
Why do you say that?
Would you advise your kid to pass up $1 million for the chance to improve your velocity a bit more?agie95 said:
It's not true:
Higher Velo - Baseball America on college players turning pro improve velo.
The Texas Baseball Ranch would also disagree with you.
The Athletic (paywall) Tigers Higher Velo
Players can continue to increase their velo.

I was responding to a poster who mentioned Prager coming back for another year and adding 3-4 MPH to his fastball. I said that is very unlikely. What about that is wrong? Again, its not to say fastball velocity can't be increased, but the odds are greater he wouldn't be able to increase that much in one year than the odds that he would.agie95 said:
Your previous statement said otherwise.

Once a player signs, the team has control for a long period of time.
A player at AA (where Prager *might* start) would make about $1000/wk.
Once a players is part of the Active Roster, they get minimum, which is something like $750K/yr. They are considered a Serf and will be such for 3 yrs +/- depending on service time.
Once they finish their 3 years of Serfdom, the team has an additional 3 years of control in which a player is eligible for Arbitration. Arbitration happens if a player and team can't agree on a salary for his Arb year. They go before an Arbitrator who decides which salary request is appropriate. Either the player's request... or the team's offer.
So, after 6 years +/- of playing MLB... a player can become a Free Agent and truly negotiate a contract.
