Major League Baseball will hold its first-ever pre-draft combine June 20-28 in Cary, North Carolina, at the USA Baseball National Training Complex.

The group of players invited will be selected in consultation with MLB scouts and the event will include a tournament involving 88 of those players through the 26th. There will also be medical, educational and various performance assessments happening at the event.

The 2021 MLB Draft will be held July 11-13 in Atlanta.

Major League Baseball is "motivated" to hold a scouting combine of some kind before the 2021 draft in June.

The league has started to inform clubs of potential logistics in recent weeks, according to sources.

MLB gained the right to host a combine or combine-like event in either 2020 or 2021 last March, as part of its agreement with the MLB Players Association.
