Like the video said, starting July 2nd Melissa Mayeux can be signed by any team in the MLB. She is one of four players from the French team selected to participate in MLB's European Elite Camp starting in August. Of the 76 players who have signed with major league teams in the 10-year history of the camp, only two have reached the majors, according to MLB.com.
"I would like very much to continue playing baseball in France until I'm 18 years old and then have the ability to leave for university or another opportunity abroad. I'd like to stay in baseball as long as possible," Mayeux said. And it sounds like she's got a good head on her shoulders to boot.
