Minor League Baseball
There are two professional baseball leagues in the United States: the Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Minor League Baseball (MiLB). The MiLB is further subdivided into several levels, which include Triple-A, Double-A, High-A, Low-A, and Rookie ball.

The Minor League Baseball is the second-highest level of play in North America. There are three levels of Minor League Baseball: Triple-A, Double-A, and Single-A. The Minor League Baseball season is shorter than the Major League Baseball season, typically running from April to September.
Triple-A teams are affiliated with a Major League team. The Triple-A level is divided into two leagues: the International League and the Pacific Coast League. The Double-A level is also divided into two leagues: the Eastern League and the Southern League. Single-A teams are affiliated with a Major League team but play in a different league; there are three Single-A leagues: the California League, the Carolina League, and the Florida State League.
Independent Baseball
Independent baseball is professional baseball that is not affiliated with Major League Baseball or Minor League Baseball. Professional independent baseball dates back to 1902, when the first minor league (the Northwestern League) was formed.
There are currently three major independent baseball leagues: the Atlantic League, the American Association, and the Frontier League. The Atlantic League plays its games in the eastern United States, while the American Association and Frontier League are both Midwestern leagues. In addition to these three major leagues, there are also several regional independent leagues, such as the Can-Am League and the Pecos League.
Independent baseball teams are not affiliated with any particular Major League Baseball team, and players are free to sign with any team of their choice. Many independent teams are organized into informal “alliances” with other independent teams, sharing resources such as player development and scouting.
The Independent Baseball is not affiliated with Major League Baseball.
Independent Baseball is a baseball organization located in the United States and Canada. It is not affiliated with Major League Baseball. Independent Baseball is made up of former Minor League teams, independent teams, and foreign teams. The independent minor league baseball has existed since 1901, when the Western League broke away from the National League.
Independent baseball leagues began to spring up all over the United States in the early 1990s. Many of these leagues were created to fill the void left by the contraction of Minor League Baseball teams affiliated with Major League Baseball. These new independent baseball leagues gave opportunities to players who would otherwise not have had a chance to play professional baseball.
One of the most notable independent baseball leagues is the Atlantic League, which was founded in 1998. The Atlantic League has eight teams, all located in the northeastern United States. Four of these teams are located in Pennsylvania, two in New Jersey, one in Maryland, and one in New York.
Other notable independent baseball leagues include the American Association ( twelve teams), Can-Am League (six teams), Frontier League (eighteen teams), and Pecos League (ten teams).
