2019 MLB Draft: JUCO Players - The Pitchers
Jason Getz-USA TODAY Sports We are less than a month now until the 2019 MLB Draft. I’ve mentioned in the past that the Braves have had some success drafting JUCO players. Atlanta drafted five Junior College players in the 2018 draft with Trey Riley going the highest in the fifth round. However, the most recent success stories are guys like Tucker Davidson and C.J. Alexander.
Before we go any further, let’s get the basics out of the way.
First-Year Player Rules are that any Junior college player can enter the MLB draft regardless of what year they completed.
J1 = Two-Year College 1st Year
J2 = Two-Year College 2nd Year
J3 = Two-Year College 3rd Year
