I hope you’re kidding or else you’re a fucking idiot. If you include the farm teams (which is still professional baseball) the average probably falls somewhere around 100k.
^You sir are an idiot. Average starting salary might be 7 million for 1st rounders, and a few 2nd rounders. Everyone else is getting six figures and below.
2009, #19 Draft pick Matt Purke, was first offered 4 Million then 6 million but he and his family said he would settle for no less than 7.5 million. Instead he went to TCU.
Oh shit. You swing a big bat?

14 years ago at 9:54 pmTake your 400k, and if it doesn’t work out whatever team drafted you should be paying for your tuition. Bad move.

14 years ago at 10:39 pmMLB league minimum for rookies is 300,000 however like y’all said for farm teams you’ll be lucky to get 100k
14 years ago at 10:39 pmSlangWang, you do realize that the school will just pay his tuition for him, right?
14 years ago at 10:42 pmYes I do know this, but will they also give him a 400K salary/signing bonus? No, they will not.
14 years ago at 11:20 pmAnd how did that work out for Matt Purke? He went from a first round pick of the Texas Rangers to a third round pick of the Washington Nationals.
14 years ago at 11:34 pmSlang Wang, The top 15 rounds get a real nice signing bonus and with that they also pay for school when they all through with baseball.
And 90 % of the players make under 50,000 for a signing bonus, and once you get to the 25th round and below it drops to around 5,000 and below.
