Every year a new group of draft picks are chosen and enter the professional ranks. Many won't make it to the majors, but maybe your team chose an All-Star or even a Hall of Famer. If you wonder what the chances are that your pick will make it to the majors, or become a star, you will see over the next few days here.
I will break down each position, each round and by high school versus college players. First off are the overall totals. This study covered from the 1987 to the 2001 draft. This gave the players plenty of time to reach their potential. Over the next few days I will break it down detailing this information.
