MLB Relaxes Scouting Restrictions Ahead Of Draft
Posted: Mon Apr 6, 2020 12:36 pm
Major League Baseball is relaxing some scouting restrictions leading up to the 2020 draft.
Clubs can now contact amateur prospects using electronic communication and gather data and video on players, but they remain barred from attending in-person activities and holding tryouts as they prepare for the draft and international signing period.
The memo, which was sent to teams on Friday, offered a slight relaxation of the full scouting shutdown mandated in mid-March.
