MLB milestone Tag

In baseball the phrase "sure thing" is reserved for a select few.  Many baseball players are drafted out of high school and are often praised for their skills from a very young age.  The translation is not easy for scouts to be able to accurately predict MLB superstars.  Occasionally we run across "can't miss" players like Joe Mauer or Derek Jeter.  As a high school athlete Derek was a highly touted prospect whose accolades were only matched by his skills on the baseball field.  In 1992 Derek Jeter received many national high school awards that included Gatorade's Best Male Athlete.
