Professional baseball players agree that the day the scout talks to you, the day
you get drafted, and the day you sign that pro baseball contract are the most important in your baseball career.


"Kids need to realize that if they do sign a pro contract,
the baseball career is a tough road to travel. It takes a lot of hard work in the Minor Leagues to improve yourself
enough to play in the bigs. In my case, I knew the scouts were out there when I was a college player, but I didn't
get scouted and I didn't get drafted. When I signed out of a tryout camp hard work paid off for me."
- Jeff Tredway, former Major League
