Major League Baseball hosts the Take the Field program, a two-day event during the annual Winter Meetings, specifically designed for those interested in pursuing Baseball Operations front office or on-field careers. Take the Field provides opportunities for education and engagement through breakout sessions, speaker panels, and professional development programming facilitated by industry leaders from MLB Clubs and the League Office.
The event offers participants opportunities to learn from current baseball employees, develop in their areas of interest and network with peers and other industry professionals. Sessions focus on analytics, baseball operations, coaching, player development, research and development, scouting, technology, and umpiring, as well as leadership and communication across baseball.
MLB selects participants based on their readiness for job opportunities such as internships, fellowships and entry-level full-time positions. Ideal candidates have a strong passion for working in Baseball Operations.
Admission and participation in Take the Field do not guarantee employment within professional baseball.
