Major League Baseball in partnership with the Buck O’Neil Professional Scouts and Coaches Association is excited to launch the sixth edition of the MLB Scout and Coaching Development Program . The Scout Development Program provides emerging Scouting talent with an opportunity to learn the basics of Scouting and enhance existing experience to successfully enter Front Office and Scouting related roles. The Scout Development Program will take place from October 11-20, during the Arizona Fall League ( dates subject to change). Interested Applicants should be pursuing a career in Scouting or a similar baseball career path where Scouting skills are an asset. The Program is focused on identifying candidates who are looking for opportunities at a Club and/or the League office (current Club personnel should be focused on scout development training/experiences within their organization). The Coaching Development Program returns for its 5 th year, hosting twelve selected coaching candidates aspiring to further advance their coaching abilities. The Program runs for one week during the time frame of October 11-26. This Program is comprised of 2 parts: One week of on-field coaching experience with a team during the Arizona Fall Leagues. Additional experience with other Arizona Fall programming is possible (ex. Bridge & Instructional Leagues) Prior to the start of the in-person Program, all participants attend virtual development training sessions. Former players and current coaches at the collegiate level are encouraged to apply. MLB engages with former MLB and MiLB players as well as players in MLB Partner Leagues (American Association, Atlantic League, Frontier League, and Pioneer League) to identify possible candidates. All current and former players from these respective leagues are encouraged to apply. For both Programs, travel, lodging, and a stipend is provided by MLB to participants selected for this in-person experience. The deadline for applications is Monday, August 3, 2026. Why MLB? Major League Baseball (MLB) is the most historic of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada. Employees love working at MLB because of the culture of growth, teamwork, and professionalism. Employees who are most successful at MLB take initiative, know how to identify problems and provide solutions, and always put the Team first. For those ready to step up to the plate and join the major leagues, MLB takes the same approach as teams do with their players: empowering our “workforce athletes” to be at their best by engineering experiences that put employees in the best position to succeed. Major League Baseball is looking for candidates who are passionate about growing America’s pastime to best serve its fans for decades to come.
