Apparently, less than 10% will ever get that call.
To be fair though, the guys drafted in the first 5 rounds make good money, obviously round 1 and 2 make a lot of money, also a some of the high school kids(in the minors) do to. After 5th round drafts, those kids have very low chances of making it, and are on the team to fill a spot, and on the players part, to chase their dream. At the regionals we are just all paid bad.
But yes minor league pay, blows
