How do I try out for minor league baseball?

Question

Where to look? Who to talk to? I live in Arizona so it shouldn't be too hard, bt I have no experience in highschool bball but other things make me think I have a chance. Should I try a college team first?

Answer 1

The Major League Scouting Bureau holds tryout camps across the country, and can be reached at 909-980-1881.

If you have college eligibility, I would personally go that route. It will give you a chance to hone your skills, and you'll have a much better chance of standing out over a period of time than you would at a one-day tryout camp.

Answer 2

If you weren't scouted in high school, the most direct route is via college ball. Barring that, most Major League teams have open tryouts for their systems from time to time in the summers - if you search a bit on the web, you should be able to find dates. You may also have luck with the independent leagues.

Answer 3

You should try a college team or try to make a minor league roster team. It will be tough since you didn't play in high school. Give it a try and hope you have success.

Answer 4

You have to be chosen by a major league team. They usually scout high school and college teams. If your chosen then the team will send you to one of there minor league teams.

Answer 5

you have to get scouted by a MLB team then you add you to their Minor team you have to do good there too of course you will be on different levels of there Minor team like AAA,AA,A,BB,B,CCC and all that stuff if you play like a MLB player there yall make it most likely onleast there roster get full by better Minor league players so good luck and yes try college team scouts look their more.

Answer 6

yeah i would try junior college first
