That job is working directly with players and executives of teams directly in Major League Baseball. As a part of the job, during the season you are required to be at as many games as possible and in the offseason, there is never a day that goes by where you will not be in contact with multiple players or executives of teams. Another aspect of the job is to recruit baseball players to sign…
