 Now, all players are going to have to start in the minors and work their way up through the majors. Most won't get there. Here's some interesting statistics. If you're drafted in the first round, you got about a 70% chance of making it to the majors. And even if you make it to the majors, doesn't mean you'll stay there. If you're picked in the second round, that chance drops to 50% and it keeps dropping each round.
