If you're drafted, then for a year that team owns your draft rights. If draft pick doesn't sign a contract, then he can go back into future drafts.
Two high school pitchers, whom my son faced this season, were drafted. The better pitcher, Seth Wagner, a 6'-7'' lefty, was picked later as it is quite certain that he's headed to Penn State. He throws in the low to mid 90s and my son broke up a no-hitter he had going against us. The Twins selected the other pitcher, who may actually sign with them and pass up a scholarship.
