Here are the ninth overall picks in the MLB draft since 2000:
2000 - Mark Phillips
2001 - Colt Griffin
2002 - Jeff Francis
2003 - John Danks
2004 - Chris Nelson
2005 - Mike Pelfrey
2006 - Bill Rowell
2007 - Jarrod Parker
2008 - Aaron Crow
2009 - Jacob Turner
2010 - Karsten Whitson
2011 - Javier Baez
2012 - Andrew Heaney
2013 - Austin Meadows
2014 - Jeff Hoffman
2015 - Ian Happ
2016 - Matt Manning
2017 - Keston Hiura
Baez is the only one who ever was an All-Star (obviously a lot of these guys are young and have chances). Young top ten picks in the MLB flame out often. You can make a great earning by being a back-up QB in the NFL. With Justin Herbert going back to college, he'd probably be a day two pick at worst. With the way that the NFL gives all the advantages to the offense, it's never been a better time to go in as a quarterback.
