Depends...in the big leagues, there are probably 20 to 25 guys that do...but there are many more in the minors, college, and even HS.  \n\nThere is no real way to tell...as most radar guns are not accurate that you see on T.V.\n\nSo, to answer your question, there is no good way to estimate it, as you would have to have access to scouting reports to find the actual #.

The numbers range from a minimum of 15 million to over 35 million. I suspect somewhere in the middle. I'm not aware of an official count though.\n\nCheck out: www.FantasyFanBase.com

I only have eight myself, but I know a few people who have at least 15. They have played a lot of leagues, even in a short amount of years, but in various sports.

Why does everyone care so much?  I'm getting tired of hearing and watching and reading Bonds, Bonds, Bonds.   Let's not forget that at 30 teams at a 25 man roster, minus Bonds there are 749 other people playing MLB.  Just once,\n can we focus on the good things?

I'm a Mets fan. Huge actually. I've voted many for the whole Mets lineup on MLB.com. I want as many people representing New York, the National League, and the MLB from the best team in baseball right now. Mets are going to win it all baby with their many All-Stars!

Everyone else is right, but the 11 players (or 22, depending on how you mean the question) can be reduced if a player receives a red card (or ejection).  If 2 players have been ejected, then there are only 20 rather than 22 for the rest of the game.

There are 450 NBA players (broken down into 15 players for each of the 30 teams).  \n\nAs the NBA has done away with the injured reserve, each team has 15 players that are eligible to play in every game.  However, teams must inform the NBA of the 12 active players they will be fielding in an hour before tip off.\n\nLastly, the minimum number of players that must dress for a game is 8.\n\nHope this was helpful.

Most teams will have 11 or 12 pitchers:   5 will be starting pitchers, the rest in the bullpen.  Of the bullpen guys, you'll have 1 closer, 2 setup men (i.e., 8th inning), and the last 3-4 are situational or long relievers.

The 40-Man Roster and Options\n\nNow that the player is on the 40-man roster, another clock starts ticking. He's signed to what amounts to a major-league contract, but the organization has a limited number of seasons in which to keep the player on the team for good. A player can be removed from the 40-man roster at any time, but removing a player from the 40-man roster results in the player having to pass through waivers.\n\nOnce a player is added to the 40-man roster, the parent club can send him down to the minors on "optional assignment" in 3 separate seasons. You don't need to actually be on the 25-man roster for an option year to be used; being on the 40-man roster in spring training and optioned to the minors before the season is enough to make the season count as an option year. If a player is never sent down, however, he doesn't use an option year.\n\nAlso, despite it being a major league contract, the minimum for players on the 40-man roster and not the 25-man roster is $37,000 plus collective cost of living increases since 1999.\n\nAfter the three option years are up, a player must pass through waivers to be placed on optional assignment.\n\nWhen a player is designated for assignment, the player is essentially in limbo. He doesn't count against any of the roster sizes and this is used while you either try to trade the player or get him to accept a minor league assignment.\n\nWhen a player is placed on waivers, other teams have a shot at claiming him, in order of worst record in the same league to best record in same league to worst record in opposing league to best team in opposing league. For the first month of the season, the W-L record of the previous season is used. When a team places a waiver claim on a player, the new team is subject to the same option rules. For example, if the Red Sox claim Joe Schmoe off waivers because he was out of options when the Devil Rays sent him down, the Red Sox would then have still to pass Schmo through waivers to send him down to their own minor league team.\n\nThere are two disabled lists in the majors. The 15-day disabled list forces teams to keep players out for a minimum of 15 days and does not count against the 25-man roster. The 60-day or Emergency disabled list requires a minimum of 60 days on the shelf and doesn't count against either the 25-man or 40-man roster.

At any time, 25 players times 30 teams = 750 players.  Each team also has up to 15 additional players on its extended roster, and any players who are on the 60-day disabled list.

I like interleague play.  My only complaint is that they should move one of the NL teams to AL, balance out the leagues and then play it like the NFL does with interconference games.  I'm a huge Met fan.  Is it fair when you are battling a team like Florida that they get 6 gms a year against TB and we get 6 gms against the Yankees?  They should have five teams per division per league, have 18 games against division foes and then 6 apiece against everybody else, including rotating interleague play, so that for example everyone in NL East plays everyone in AL East 6 times.
