When a 16 year old out of another country signs do they get some sort of schooling here? I’ve always kind of wondered what life is like for those kids
Tommet
If you sign with a professional organization you don’t go to school. You choose one or the other

Wow. I knew that was true for getting drafted, but it seems wrong to allow at 16-year old to go into baseball without even getting to the 11th grade…
Tommet
yeah because you have to be dedicated to the team’s practices and workouts. If you go to school you won’t have enough time to workout with the team

In Mexico, many kids stop at 8th grade; there isn’t public high school. I don’t know what the case is with the Dominican or Venezuela though.

In Mexico there a lot of public high schools and universities, even one of the best college in Latin America is a public institution (UNAM)

Loving all of these White Sox Signings, its certainly going to help our farm system over the coming years! 4 signings since July 2 and getting a guy from Venezuela in January!

it’s been criminally ignored for years. thank god the organizational philosophy has radically changed in player development. there’s a reason the farm has been as bad as it is.
