A total of 21 players have gone directly to the majors when being drafted from the amateur draft. It is very rare considering hundreds of draft picks happen each year and has been happening since 1965.

Can you be drafted into major leagues if you do not live in America?

Yes, players from outside the United States can be drafted into Major League Baseball (MLB) through the annual amateur draft, but they are not eligible for the draft until they have graduated from high school or turned 18 years old. Additionally, international players often sign as free agents rather than being drafted, as MLB has established international signing periods that allow teams to sign foreign players directly.

What is the requirement for Major League Baseball?

If you play well in high school, you will get scouted. There is an officially players draft where teams have a chance to take any player they want and hold the rights for them. You can decline and go to college, or sign, but you will have to sign only with the team that drafted you. Then, you will be sent to the minor leagues, where the best will be promoted one by one to the major leagues.
