Ball Farm

A Ball Farm is a colloquial term, primarily used in baseball, to describe a facility or complex dedicated to the development and training of minor league players. These facilities typically house multiple baseball fields, dormitories, training rooms, and dining halls, providing a centralized location for young players to hone their skills under the guidance of coaches and instructors within a professional baseball organization. The primary purpose of a ball farm is to nurture talent and prepare players for advancement to higher levels of minor league play, ultimately with the goal of reaching the major league roster. Ball farms can also host rookie leagues, extended spring training, and other developmental programs. The term emphasizes the facility's role in cultivating and producing baseball players, similar to how a traditional farm cultivates crops.
