UCLA's John Savage criticizes MLB's amateur-entry rule changes

UCLA baseball head coach John Savage expressed concerns over Major League Baseball's proposed changes to the amateur-entry system. If implemented, these changes would require U.S. players to complete two years in college before being draft-eligible, impacting recruitment strategies for elite college programs. Savage argued that players capable of signing immediately after high school should have that opportunity. The proposal aims to give college baseball access to top high school talent, potentially affecting players like Roch Cholowsky, who may have pursued the MLB Draft sooner under the current system.
