Yes, it's actually very common in Baseball. Fortunately, though, MLB teams are starting to lean towards college players more than high school players.

You're eligible for the MLB draft three times (basically): 1. After your senior year of high school. 2. After your junior year of college. I actually know someone who was drafted after their junior year of college, then went to school for the next two fall semesters to finish his degree. If you're drafted after your junior year, you have until the next year's draft to sign, otherwise you're put back in the draft, and that team no longer owns you (but they can draft you again). 3. After your senior year of college.

Other sports such as Basketball and football (American) don't allow this, though athletes can leave college early if their prospects are very high.

Yes there has in when the NFL first started up. A few years in and a cornerback named Rick Hayes came to the NFL out of college. But he was the only one in NFL history to do so. He was never enducted into any hall of fame or any thing of the sort because his athletisicm and talents on the field proved to be unjust. He was in over his head simply because he was merely a teen, and he was smaller and less stronger than the rest of the NFL stars.

No because if they go straight to pro and as soon as they get kicked out or retire they have no other good paying job to do.
