Quick Links
When most people think of Major League Baseball, they picture the 30 clubs, their lavish stadiums, and legions of adoring fans. It’s a pretty attractive sales pitch for any up-and-coming ballplayers looking to make a name for themselves, but in reality, if they’re lucky enough to be drafted, they’ll be spending a lot of time in an organization’s farm system.
The Minor Leagues serve as a development pipeline, letting players better themselves against those of similar skill levels before being promoted to the next level. It’s a tradition ingrained in baseball culture; thus, it’s only appropriate for it to be represented inMLB The Show 25.
