The signing deadline for the draft passed last Friday and we now can see officially which top high school players are headed to college in the fall.
Below is a chart of all the high school players who ranked in the BA 500 who did not sign pro contracts.
New Jersey prep righthander Jack Leiter, who was No. 21 on the BA 500, was the highest ranked player not to sign. Leiter, the son of former All-Star Al Leiter, was always strongly committed to Vanderbilt and that did not change after the Yankees, which also drafted his father, selected him in the 20th round.
The top unsigned position player was Tennessee prep outfielder Maurice Hampton, who will instead play both baseball and football at Louisiana State. He was drafted in the 23rd round by the Padres, but his football commitment made him an especially tough sign. He plays cornerback in football and is also rated as a top-100 football recruit by 247 Sports.
Vanderbilt leads all schools with nine players from the BA 500 in its incoming freshman class. Mississippi and Mississippi State follow with seven and Florida, which had the No. 1 class in the fall 2019 recruiting class rankings, has six.
Overall, 119 high school players in the BA 500 did not sign pro contracts, 14 less than last year. Of those players, 50 are committed to schools in the SEC, accounting for 42 percent of the unsigned BA 500 recruits. ACC schools will take in 20 unsigned BA 500 recruits, the Pac-12 will get 17 and the Big 12 will land 15.
