Rookie League

Rookie League is a beginner-level professional baseball classification, typically serving players who are just starting their careers. It is usually the first step in a team's minor league system, where young or inexperienced players develop their skills and adjust to organized professional play. These leagues often feature lower levels of competition and are held in smaller markets or on smaller fields, providing a supportive environment for player growth. The goal is to prepare athletes for higher, more competitive levels of minor league baseball and ultimately, the major leagues.
