Baseball has so many risks.

You basically have to commit on bouncing around the minors for at least 3 years. You know what that means? No college degree or any real transferable skill set. And with only 750 slots on MLB rosters vs. 6,000 minor league players, you gotta be real confident.

People in here also forgetting how hard it is to make it in the NBA:mjlol:

Outside the Lottery (15-30): 20% chance of making it

Second round?: Around a 8% chance of making it
You can hit a fast ball and a curve and run a 4.4? Breh you gettin money

Baseball... No doubt...

No Salary Cap
Longer Careers
Guaranteed contracts

Plus if you bat .300 you are a hall of famer

If you shoot .300 in the NBA you are terrible

If you complete 30% of your passes in the NFL you'll be benched

except making a basket in the NBA is much easier than hitting a 95 mph fastball for a base-hit (especially with today's advanced defensive alignments)

isn't that a good thing? less weed carriers, less threat of getting run up on, etc.

Football, baseball, basketball.

Assume that you're about 6'4 / 6'5 with a 4.4 40 time, ability to dunk, great hands, ability to put on good weight. Have ability to hit a fastball & curveball

Which sport do you go to college for / go pro in? Why?

Just going off what the OP said... but even the people who can't hit for shyt still get paid though :manny:

If you're good enough to be a 5-star recruit in all 3 sports then that means you're a Bo Jackson level talent for baseball. Ain't no bouncing around in minors bih :blessed:

You'll have a long, successful career, even if you're underachieving

You can still play baseball in college and get drafted, the good college players won't take as long to get through the minors either. Someone like Posey played 3 years at FSU, then spent just a year in the minors in 09 before being called up a few months into the 2010 season.

I'm going baseball because if I'm an average lefty starter with a good fastball, I'm good for like $60-$100 million in my career
