What if a released player decides to attend a Junior College and wishes to play baseball?
Under NJCAA rules, an individual who was released from a Minor League baseball contract after participating in Minor League baseball for no more than 90 days and at a level no higher than Class A, may be granted eligibility to compete in baseball at any NJCAA member college. Any participation past the first 90 days shall make the student ineligible at NJCAA schools. A player should check with the NCAA or NAIA about what eligibility rules those governing bodies have for released baseball players.
