🚨 BREAKING: Starting in 2028, Texas high school baseball will allow DROP 5 BATS 😳⚾️

So basically… if your kid still can’t hit, you are officially running out of excuses. 😭😭😭

Pitching parents… y’all good with this or HELL NAH? 👀🍿

🚨 THE BIGGEST THREAT TO AMATEUR BASEBALL IN DECADES? 🚨

Jeff Passan reports that Major League Baseball has proposed sweeping changes to the amateur draft system:

❌ No more high school players in the MLB Draft
✅ College players eligible after their sophomore year
⬇️ Draft reduced from 20 rounds to 12 rounds
💰 Bonus pool slashed from $358.7M to $200M

Think about that for a second…

No more stories like Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., Bryce Harper, Clayton Kershaw, or countless others hearing their name called straight out of high school.

Fewer draft rounds.
Less money available.
Fewer opportunities.

MLB says it’s about improving player development.

Critics say it’s another blow to amateur baseball and the dreams of young players across America.

So let’s hear it…

🔥 Good for the game?
🔥 Bad for the player?
🔥 Good for colleges?
🔥 Bad for high school baseball?
