Assuming you mean professionally: if you don't get drafted, then you go to a team's open tryouts.  There, you try out for scouts and they decide if you have talent.

Start off by volunteering at a HS or little league team. \n\nOr if you are in college, get in touch with the school team and see about being a manager and there you can get a lot of good knowledge by watching all the practices.

it would take amazingly long time to type up how to play baseball. ill give a short explanation. there is 4 bases in a diamond shape, then an outfield. a pitcher throws the ball trying to get it past the batter and over the home plate (a base) for a strike. 3 strikes and your out. \nthere are 3 outs in one inning. you play nine innings. if you hit the ball, you run up the dirt ob the right to first base. if the ball is cought while the first baseman touches the bag, your out. if you see that you could maybe get to 2nd base, turn and run there. you score by going all the way around the bases and touching home plate. oh, and if you hit a ball over the fence in between the to polls in left and right field, its a home run

Velocity isn't the only thing that matters, but if you can throw hard enough you've probably got a good chance of being a draft pick or getting a scholarship offer to play in college.\n\n85 probably isn't enough by itself, but if you've also got good control, you could be a real impressive prospect.  In the end, though, how far you can make it will really depend on how much work you're willing to put into it.  Obviously you are nowhere near good enough to pitch in the majors right now, and while you may have enough innate talent to make that possible as a goal down the road, it will only happen if you put in a ton of hard work.  Baseball favors effort and training over raw talent more than any other sport.

You have to be invited, thus the name "Select"\n\nThere are some larger leagues that hold tryout for teams that may need a player or two.\n\nIf you know a coach that has a Select team, I would contact him or her.\n\nYou might also try Baseball USA, they might know of someone looking for a player.

Fundementals, fundementals, fundementals. Work on the basics of throwing, catching and swinging the bat consistently. The more you can ingrain those basics in your team, the better they will do and the more success they will have as they move on to future levels of the game.\n\nThere are several coaching links through eteamz.com, including several message boards where you can communicate with other coaches and get ideas. But whatever you do, keep it fun. The odds are you don't have any future major leaguers on your roster, but you do have a good size group of young players who can develop a lifelong love of the game if you teach them while letting them have fun.

Most Scouts or Front Office people of Major league sports, are usually former athletes themselves.  As for a Major any business related theme, or sports management ( if offered).\n\nI would suggest taking classes in Psychology and sociology as well.\n\nSome colleges do offer sports themed majors.  \n\nThe main thing about getting a position for a Major league team is more of WHO you know than WHAT You Know.\n\nLook for internships, see if you can volunteer during the summer or offer help, just to get your foot in the door while still in college.\n\nSee if you can work with you College Athletic department, they do have student volunteers and the experience and networking with professional will help you in your long term goal.\n\nGood LUCK!!!!

If your son is a fourth year senior in college and did not get drafted, the odds are that he will never play professional baseball, and the odds of making the big leagues are nearly zero.  But it can happen.\n\nDo not bother contacting an agent.  Have your son contact independent league teams directly and discuss his accomplishments.  Do not do this for him as clubs are looking for players with drive, and nothing will make the door close quicker than his father calling for him.  If your son can impress the appropriate people, he may get a tryout.  After that, it is all about the talent he has.\n\nIf your son truly wants this, he needs to get aggresive.  Each major league team has drafted 50 players this week and those players will be their focus.  Your son must do something to stand out.

The link is for the pro level, but if you want to do little league, high school, or college i'm not sure. You might try a local school district office they might have some info.

They train and recruit prospects in order to sing them for major leagues.\n\nBeing baseball the most popular sport in the country, it is very easy to find kids who have very good skills.\n\nThese academies recruit kids who are seem like they have posibilities. These kids go trough very tough training, and practice, Im not sure if its for  a year or 2. They also  english classes, and are sent for practice to the US, but not all of them will get signed.

Baseball draft - you get to pick a player between rounds. It's awarded to a team who has lost a player of a certain class.\n\n"So, a team losing a Class A gets a first-round draft choice from the team that signed him as well as a "sandwich pick" between the first and second round (rather than second and third...). If you lose a Class B, you get just the first-round pick, and if you lose a Class C, you just get the sandwich pick."

The first thing to do is already know where you are going to throw it. Be aware of where the base runners are and have it set in your mind what you need to do if the ball comes to you. Usually you are going to throw it to your cut-off man. Depending on where you play, it will be the shortstop or 2nd baseman. Unless you are very shallow in the outfield or have a rocket arm, this is where you will throw.\n    Now, as far as how to throw I'm going to asume that you have caught the ball cleanly. Keep your ballance, get your leggs under neath you. With your weight on your right leg, step towards where you are throwing, at the same time throw the ball with a over hand motion.\n    YOur whole body throws the ball, not just your arm. You  are pushing with your back leg, twisting your stomach, chest and shoulders, and kind of snaping your arm like a whip in a over and downward motion. If you throw overhanded properly, you will put back-spin on the ball and get a little bit of rise on the ball and get more distance.\n    The key to it all is to do everything in one fluid motion. Hope i helped, Good luck

You have to be invited to a team's training camp. In order to get to that point, you should probably have an agent. Good Luck!

It's too late to sign up for basketball, and baseball hasn't started yet. To sign up for any Yahoo fantasy sport, make sure you have a Yahoo ID and go to fantasysports.yahoo.com. Every sport has its rules. All of them are free, but they have add-ons (like live stats and extended player rankings) that you can buy if you want.\n\nAnyway, you get in a league with other fantasy managers. Everybody drafts a group of real players, and the stats those players pick up during the year are added to your fantasy team's stats. You can trade players with other fantasy managers if you are weak in one area. Good luck!
