Ok, I’m going to show my baseball ignorance. How does the transition from amateur to pro playing time work. With basketball and football their seasons run basically in parallel so there is no jumping straight from college to the pros (in the same season), but because the MLB season begin and end so much later than the college and HS season, do the kids that were just drafted jump immediately into the pros (by pros I mean the minor league system) or do they wait until the following season/fall ball/spring training?
