根據報導

Lonnie White Jr.有獲得賓州州立大學的獎學金，讓他雙棲發展美足、棒球
除此之外也有獲得密西根州立大學、維吉尼亞理工學院暨州立大學的美足獎學金
最後他選擇去賓州
但在選秀會上被海盜選中後
他就陷入念大學(雙棲) OR 開始職棒生涯的抉擇
而賓州州立大學美足教練James Franklin在Lonnie White Jr.被選上後
也在推特上祝福他

而另一位Bubba Chandler則有獲得克萊門森大學美足、棒球獎學金
但他已經決定不去念大學
直接進大聯盟體系打球
話說海盜會讓他嘗試二刀流的樣子(投手、游擊手)
Jay Lasley, Chandler's high school coach at North Oconee, said the Pirates are w
illing to give Chandler an opportunity to play both shortstop and pitcher early
in his career. The switch-hitting Chandler said prior to the draft that he belie
ved he could be a pitcher and a position player for a major league team.
