Minor league ballplayers' path to the bigs has major obstacles, so family is no small thing
[Of the 455,300 high school baseball players in America, only 5.6 percent wind up playing on a collegiate team. Of that 5 percent, only 10 percent are drafted by an MLB team. And of all minor leaguers, only 10 percent will ever make it to the show.]

Probability
[Approximately one in 200, or approximately 0.5 percent of high school senior boys playing interscholastic baseball will eventually be drafted by an MLB team. ]
BM was drafted out of high school, so based on this, he was in the top .5 percent of all high school senior baseballers. Not too shabby, even if he was not part of the further 10 percent to go on to the majors.
(This is assuming similar statistics back when he played versus more current stats.)
