Sorry for the delay, but life is life as you all know.
A few weeks back, the 2022 MLB draft took place, and 616 players heard their names called. Now if you are here and reading this, you are not here for that number.
Of those 616 Players here is the breakdown of where they all came from:
- 453 from 4-Year Schools
- 118 from Highschool
- 42 from Junior College
- 3 that came from Independent or other
Now looking at those numbers 73.5% of the guys came from a 4-year school, 19.2% came from High School, 6.8% came from Junior Colleges, and .5 % came from some other route.
Now, let’s take out the High School and Other from the problem. That makes it 495 guys taken. And this is where the breakdown comes from when you look at each division (NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA) and then the Junior College Schools.
- 434 from NCAA D1
- 16 from NCAA D2
- 1 from NCAA D3
- 2 from NAIA
- 42 from Junior College
Now the real reason you all are here is what is the real junior college number? When looking at all of the guys that are at all 4-year schools and if they have junior college ties. This is what the breakdown would look like.
- 359 from NCAA D1
- 12 from NCAA D2
- 1 from NCAA D3
- 2 from NAIA
- 121 from Junior College
With that breakdown and taking out the High School Players that means that just under 25 % of all Players drafted had some sort of tie to a Junior College weather that be NJCAA, CCCAA, NWAC, or Other.
Below is a list of all of the Junior colleges that had a player drafted from them and the total amount from that school. There were 79 Different Schools Represented in the draft. 11 from the CCCAA, 1 From the NWAC, 66 NJCAA Schools, and 1 Independent School
