The young man has to do with he thinks is best, but...

the 11th round and the 322nd overall pick which may equate to a $5,000 signing bonus?
Apparently he doesn't think another year playing at the collegiate level will improve that very much, if any.

He will get much more than that. The 11th round, after teams have the night to regroup and talk bonuses with their first 10 picks, is where you usually can offer a guy more money. You can offer up to $100,000 without it counting against your bonus pool. You can offer a guy after round 10 more but it counts against your total number. Higgy, with the leverage he has in coming back to school, likely received a 6 digit bonus.

Still seems a paltry sum to leave college early for, unless he just doesn't think he will improve next year.

This is a misunderstanding of the MLB draft. The slot for the 304th pick is $138,400. He can get up to $125,000 (and will probably get close to that) for being picked 322nd. If he stays he may get less even if he gets drafted higher because he loses leverage and teams see him as "sign cheap, spread bonus pool money" type player.

This is the biggest reason that for me, college sports is the best of sports in the world for me. Pro teams is all about getting the best players for as little as they can. But when a player proves without a doubt they were a steal for the team, the contracts stay the same for as long as the pros can keep them. Pro sports is without a doubt, I want all you have, and I want it for cheap cheap cheap regardless of what you maybe worth.
