Minor league system
The minor league system is a network of professional baseball teams that develop and evaluate players who are affiliated with Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. These teams serve as training grounds, helping players improve their skills, gain experience, and prepare for possible promotion to the majors. The system is organized in tiers, from lower-level leagues to higher ones, allowing players to progressively advance through different levels of competition. It also provides a way for MLB teams to scout talent, manage player progress, and maintain a steady pipeline of skilled athletes ready for major league opportunities.
