One way to become a professional baseball player is through playing at the collegiate level. Collegiate players are often scouted by professional teams and offered scholarships to play in their minor league system, where they can hone their skills and eventually be called up to the majors. Other routes into professional baseball include signing as an undrafted free agent or being drafted directly out of high school. Once a player has been signed, he must go through a rigorous training program that includes both on-field and off-field development.
