MLBy becomes the "Majors" for Little League, with only 10% - 20% of players making it into the league. MLBy has the goal of not only developing baseball skills but supporting the growth of the next generation. For players who have aspirations to continue their career at the collegiate level, MLBy helps streamline the process for both the player and the college baseball programs. Through the leagues Scouting Pipeline, college coaches and scouts from around the country are provided access to MLBy's password protected Scouting Pipeline database.
Within the database coaches and scouts have access to PLAYER PROFILES, SCOUTING REPORTS, HIGHLIGHT REELS, and CAREER STATISTICS. With players stats and intangibles being tracked from 13U through 17U, coaches and scouts can see how each player projects. Having detailed information, from GPA to Exit Velocity and game footage, gives coaches and scouts valuable evaluation tools. This information provides the player with a recorded baseball career, as well as assisting in the recruiting process for college baseball programs.
Entrance into MLBy is based on a scouting combine and essay. Potential players may also be required to complete a questionnaire, baseball IQ evaluation test and interview. Entry also requires that the player maintain a 3.0 GPA with their academic institution. An assessment process is available for any player who is Home Schooled. All essays and questionnaires must be submitted no later than 10 days prior to the combine. Invitations will be sent to those selected. Any player not given a combine invite will be sent a letter stating the areas that need addressed, before re-submitting to a subsequent combine.
​
​Following the invitation only combine, players are placed into a draft pool in preparation for the
MLBy DRAFT.
Once a player is drafted or signed by an MLBy team, they will have permanent membership in the league. Players can only be removed through resignation/retirement or because of violation of league rules and regulations. Any dismissal from the league must be approved by the Board of Directors and signed off on by the League President. In extreme circumstances the League President has the ability to place any player on administrative leave, while their case is pending a Board of Directors review process.
MLBy sets the GOLD STANDARD for conduct and academic achievement amongst its players.
