How Minor League Baseball is Organized | Baseball Explained

Most fans of Major League Baseball understand the structure of Major League Baseball. But understanding Minor League Baseball can prove to be a little more difficult.

In this video, I break down the basic structure of the Minor Leagues and talk about the unique qualities of each level in the system, and also clarify some of the misconceptions around Minor League players.

Bro i love your videos. I'm mexican AND didnt know the Mexican Baseball League was considered Minor Leagues. Its awesome

[ericveneto]

DEFINITELY do a video on the history of MiLB! I know it was A-D until the 50s

[garretthultman]

Fun fact: for the gcl and azl teams they sometimes do two teams with different colors names (examples azl giants black and azl giants orange). Also they don’t play at their Mlb affiliate’s main spring training stadium, they play on a designated practice field.

The fact that there are so many teams feeding the mlb shows that baseball could have been a cultural cornerstone the same as soccer in many parts of the world. Would have been amazing to have a relegation system with teams strictly representing their city/town/community rather than franchised system where teams jump around cities.

Thanks for the video, this one and MLB The Show teaches me the farm system in MLB :)

Bobby, Thanks for offering this clear explanation of the Minors.
Unfortunately, many of this may be changed by next year with a reduction of these great teams.

Something that isnt stressed enough is the jump from college to the Minors. Even at lowest levels, the player talent surpasses almost everyone from out of college.

Another thing is that some Duco Colleges run world class high performance centres for baseball.

So a lot of the best junior colleges actually have far better baseball programs than the majority of Division 1 colleges

I used to go watch minor league team called The Storm-chasers in Nebraska. They were fairly good and seats at games were often 85% filled up at least when I went. And it was a fairly good size stadium

I am a writer with a client wanting a piece done on MiLB. I have no experience in (most) sports and this helped me SO much. Thank you!

[tudormiller]

Great video. I'm a new fan of the Vancouver Canadians watching from London UK.

brother u just made it more confusing for me

[lpmbufftelecom]

Where can I watch the lower leagues Baseball? Do they broadcast the matches on YouTube or another streaming platform? I'm non-American trying to know more about the game. Thanks

[ruancah]

I would love to know what everything means in the MLB videogame (MLB the Show 22), I'm playing to understand more about baseball. I want to know what means all stats, all attributes and I would love to see a video about baseball records, individual and team records.

Thank you, God bless you!

Excellent job of explaining the "old" hierarchy of the minors. I am hoping for an update on the loss of 42 minor league clubs. I will be showing this video to my middle school Wide World of Sports class, thanks for the resource!

[collydub]

Great video. So, if a draft prospect is good enough to go straight to the majors, does that mean that players who play double A for example for a few years just aren't as good? They just need time to develop?

[jamesburrelljr.]

It was clear enough but I still watched this video more than once

[abcx]

please put up average or median salary for each minor league

[davidmcaninch]

Well, the Texas Rangers have the Frisco Rough Riders. That’s the only MiLB team that I’m familiar with.

Can you explain how the Fresno grizzly’s go from being a AAA team for the giants, Astros, and Nats, all of witch had championship runs while affiliated with them, to single A team for the Rockies.
