Song was selected in the fourth round of June's MLB draft after a stellar career at Navy.
Navy graduate Noah Song, the service academies’ top professional sports prospect, does not expect to continue his baseball career with the Boston Red Sox any time soon after the Navy said Tuesday it likely would not grant him a service deferment.
Still, the final word on his military future belong to Thomas Modly, acting secretary of the Navy, and Esper, who can grant Song’s waiver against the recommendations of the Naval chain of command. After Song serves his first two years of duty, he can ask for a second waiver to defer his final three years of service.
But there wasn’t much Kostacopoulos could tell teams about Song’s big league future. Song had already signed his “two and seven” pledge, an agreement sophomores sign committing them to finishing their graduation at the academy and completing five years of military service.
