How can you become Major League Baseball player?
In order to be a pro baseball player you need to have insane skills with a bat and have good fielding. You also have to be noticed by scouts and be in a known (popular) college. My uncle was in the pros for the Baltimore Orioles Cal Ripken Jr. All you have to do is believe in yourself and practice all the time. Cal said in baseball spring training is what makes a good baseball player.
