On Monday, Major League Baseball made its boldest move yet to streamline the scouting of the country’s elite high school talent by announcing the launch of the Prospect Development Pipeline League.
The league is an expansion of Prospect Development Pipeline (PDP) program, which is a collaboration between MLB and USA Baseball to scout and develop the top high school baseball players for the upcoming draft. Hence, the PDP League will be a development and showcase experience for approximately 80 of the top high school baseball players in the nation ahead of the 2020 draft.
Taking place from mid-June to early July 2019 at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
