From Banana Ball to the Atlantic League
Where pro and entertainment baseball is played in the US, and how to get a look.
Touring teams and shows built around the fan experience. Most pick their players by invitation.
Professional leagues outside the MLB farm system. Several are MLB Partner Leagues, and most run open tryout camps.
A different path: summer leagues for college players and a pro-run league for draft prospects.
No one can sign you but the league, and tryout dates change every year. This is the order that gets a reply most often.
Each league picks players differently. Banana Ball workouts are by invitation after an application. Cosmic Baseball takes an online form, then sends invites. The independent leagues run open camps or showcases followed by a draft, and the summer leagues fill rosters through college coaches.
One clean video, your stats, and your numbers (pitch velocity, exit velocity, sixty time). Leagues read a short, honest summary faster than a long story.
Tryout dates change every year, so they are not listed here. Each card above links to the league's own site, which is where camps, showcases and applications are posted first. Read the age and experience rules there before you register.
A registration fee is fine when it is on the league's own site. Be wary of anyone selling a spot, a roster slot or a contact. No one outside the league decides who gets signed.
Leagues, clubs and men's teams can find players through CageList, and we reach out when there's a fit. Adults only (18+) for now.
Each league above was checked against its own published page in Oct 2026. Tryout dates, fees and team lists change, so confirm with the league before you plan a trip.
