Im reading on twitter. Cortes because of his age is draft eligible after next year

[jeff2001]

Dang.

 

[92Pony]

Well that sux. Kid is gonna be special (arguably already so).

 

[carolinamyke]

Seems that's not a definite

 

[Garnet chicken]

Thought it had to be 3 years out of HS.

 

[GamecockJL]

Think about it this way, we only had Braden Webb for a year. And we were lucky to get Cortes in school period.

Webb came to mind when I first read this thread.

 

[FORKCOCK]

I thought that once you enrolled, you had to wait 3 years.

 

[gamecocktuck]

3 years out of high school or eligible at age 21. He'll be 21 next year.

 

[USCBatgirl21]

He won't be 21 until AFTER the 2018 draft so he will not be eligible next year.

 

[jimnasium]

Slow your roll guys don't we have enough already to worry about?

 

[coolcock2001]

Hope he sticks around long enough for us to put a better team around him; kid is a stud

That's why the OP said AFTER next year.

That's why the OP said AFTER next year.

The OP and entire thread is speaking as if he will only be here 1 more year, which is not the case. He cannot be drafted until after the 2019 season because of when his birthday falls. He will not be 21 at the time of the draft so his age is a moot point with regard to the 2018 draft.

@USCBatgirl21 is correct...

 

[jeff2001]

@USCBatgirl21 is correct...

Awesome..

 

[willmac99]

I am not sure who is correct but his birthday is June 30, 1997. That would make him eligible on June 30, 2018 which is before the 2018 draft, which is usually in July.

You don't anything about MLB draft.. It's in June..

This year's draft starts on June 12, 201...

 

[richiejax]

i don't ever recall a July draft.
This years draft is June 12-14 which sounds about right, I always remember players getting drafted while still playing in the CWS.
Assuming that holds true to form, the draft should be ahead of his birthday.

 

[willmac99]

That is a good thing. What I do know is the players have until August 15 to sign. Does that mean he could still be drafted since he will be 21 by the signing date ?

It means he can't be drafted.

The signing deadline has not been set as yet for the 2018 draft.
