There is no age limit for professional Baseball. In the early days there was a 15-year-old who played. The pitcher had a hard time pitching to such a small strike zone and he was walked quite a bit.

Nowadays baseball farmers and scouts will usually wait until a player has reached the age of 18 for insurance reasons. It's very risky for a team to put a minor into the big leagues for fear he could get hurt either by being hit by a 90mph pitch or lack of sufficient experience out on the playing field.

Normally it's 21, but the requirement says either 3 years out of High School or 3 years of College Football.
