20% chance of sticking in the majors. Save some of that money kid for an education if you are playing the odds. 

Generally if they sign a clause is put in the contract that the team will pay for school.

That usually applies to the top 10 rounds so that sounds possible…or they include that with the signing bonus. Still, long odds for the kid but yes take that $ now.

"Conticello is a South Florida signee. If he cannot come to an agreement with the Diamondbacks, he can stick to that college commitment. The No. 228 pick has a slot value of $186,300. Conticello said he would likely sign but it would depend on how contract negotiations go."

I would 100% take it. 200k is alot of money and he can go back to school if things don't work out. Plus he likely gets a clause that the D-Backs pay for college if it does not work out.

1 in 5 isn't exactly "long" odds.  No brainer to take the money.  College isn't going anywhere

But in college I can make all sorts of money on my name and likeness!!!
