There is no question that the physical and mental demands of the
sport of baseball are rigorous. Not only is it difficult to
successfully hit a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball in front of a
crowd of passionate spectators, but it is also challenging to
navigate an often confusing system that leads players through youth
leagues, high school, college, and for a lucky few, the Minor and
Major Leagues.
Rod Humphries, sports journalist, television writer, and former
administrator of a worldwide professional tennis tour, shares his
personal experiences and advice from experts in this complete
insider's guide designed to help players, their parents, and
baseball fans understand how Major Leaguers "pay their dues."
Humphries, who closely studied the entire baseball assembly line
when his son was drafted out of high school by the Houston Astros,
offers valuable information on:
- The professional baseball structure- Little League vs.
select/travel ball- Player analysis and recruitment- Scholarships
and coaching camps- Draft day decisions, salaries, and career
chances
"Little League to the Major Leagues" provides proven tips and
time-tested advice for any family or player who dares to dream of
journeying beyond youth baseball to high school, college, and the
professional game.
