Junior. is the only kid I can think of going to the MLB from school, but even he spent most of his first year in Bellingham before coming up to the Mariners in September. Oh, and Nuxhall at 16, but that was in the middle of WWII and even he didn't stick that year.
I don't know how you would do it, but it seems to me that this, pro sports, is the only industry that can force you to sign with a given entity and force you to do something else until they're ready for you. It's a disservice to the schools, but more importantly, it's a disservice to the kids.
