Well, let's reword the question first... A, AA, and AAA minor league players are usually already drafted by a team. In my experience, I would say that probably around 10% of minor leaguers ever have a chance at The Show. That's just the chance. Even fewer make it there and produce successful careers and end up being vested and retiring. Of the thousands of high school, college, and unaffiliated players, probably about 3 percent of those drafted or signed ever make the big leagues. Hope this helps.
Less than three in 50, or about 5.6 percent, of high school senior boys interscholastic Baseball players will go on to play men's baseball at a NCAA member institution. Less than eleven in 100, or about 10.5 percent, of NCAA senior male baseball players will get drafted by a Major League Baseball (MLB) team. 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.
No, a handful of polished college players go directly to the majors after being drafted, and also most of the Japanese players in the majors never played in the (American) minors.
A baseball player's salary will not change from the Majors to the Minors if he has a Major League contract. There are minor league contracts for those players.
A total of 21 players have gone directly to the majors when being drafted from the amateur draft. It is very rare considering hundreds of draft picks happen each year and has been happening since 1965.
This may or may not be the most recent, but Jim Abbott never played in the minors, he came straight out of college. Also, most of the Japanese players currently in the majors came directly from Japan and never spent any time in the (American) minors.
major league baseball began its first draft in 1965 therefor giving the team the option of sending the player down for further instruction. The first player was mike adamson of usc in 1967 going to Baltimore orioles. the team with the most players going straight to the majors is the san Diego padres the most popular being Dave winfield. correction Oakland also had three players.

No. Pitchers can re-enter once in Juniors and above, but there is no re-entry as a pitcher in Majors and below in Little League.
Valley Baseball League's motto is 'Gateway to the majors'.
AAA minor league
About 5.6% make it to the ncaaa college and from there about 10% make it to the majors.
