Baseball General Manager and Scouting Course Jobs in professional baseball and collegiate baseball start here:
In our 8-week online course, you’ll learn how to evaluate baseball players, run a front office, and direct a baseball operation. Former LA Dodgers General Manager Dan Evans and former LA Dodgers Amateur Scout, Hank Jones will teach you the skills baseball organizations need.
The time is now to pursue your dream of working in baseball.
There Are Many Roles In Baseball This Course Will Prepare You For
Baseball management requires a versatile skill set, not just evaluating players and creating a competitive team and not just budgeting, operations and marketing
This cutting-edge course will prepare you to enter the world of baseball management with a diverse array of skills that will qualify you for any of these roles:
The Sports Management Worldwide General Manager/Scouting course has given me the opportunity to examine the latest trends in baseball management and player evaluations, along with an introduction to analytics and how the two disciplines can work together in the difficult task of finding a prospect to compete in Major League Baseball. - Former student and scout for the San Francisco Giants, Michael Hemenway
Why Our Baseball GM and Scouting Course is The Education You Need
There was a time when understanding baseball meant sitting in the stands watching game after game with some old grizzled veteran teaching you the nuances of the sport. Then, there was a time where calculators and spreadsheets took over, managing the game through a myriad of numbers and formulas.
Now is the time where analytics and traditional scouting work together.
The Sports Management Worldwide Baseball General Manager and Scouting Course marry the new age of baseball analytics with traditional baseball scouting to give you the tools necessary to become the next great baseball executive.
Taught by MLB scout Hank Jones and former Los Angeles Dodgers GM and Toronto Blue Jays scout Dan Evans, our 8-week online course offers cutting edge theories on how to develop a career in professional and collegiate baseball.
Unlike most online classes, we focus our program on interactive zoom video chats directly with your course mentor, which allows you the opportunity to build personal relationships and rapport with Hank Jones and Dan Evans. After completing our Baseball Analytics course, we will help you redesign your resume to highlight your new skills and include that you have been taught first-hand by Dan Evans and Hank Jones.
Now that is powerful!
With program graduates currently working for teams like the A’s, Yankees, Mariners, Red Sox, Braves, Giants, and many more, this is your best chance to turn your passion for baseball into a career you love.

Dan Evans has been in professional baseball for over three decades, holding key decision making roles with five MLB franchises, including three years as the Los Angeles Dodgers Executive Vice President and General Manager. Evans' career began as an intern with the Chicago White Sox, where he worked his way up from the bottom and eventually became their Assistant General Manager/Director of Baseball Operations.
Evans brings a unique perspective to the Baseball General Manager and Scouting course, as he is the only former General Manager of an MLB club who also led a baseball agency. He also has worked as a broadcast analyst for MLB games, authors a column for Baseball Prospectus and is an original member of the Professional Baseball Scouts Foundation.
In addition to teaching the Baseball General Manager and Scouting course, Evans also evaluated talent for the Toronto Blue Jays, overseeing their entire Pacific Rim operations.
For nearly 40 years Hank Jones worked the Pacific Northwest region as a trusted scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers, helping the organization win two World Series (1981, 1988) and succeeding under four different ownership groups, seven general managers and five scouting directors.
Often when there is an organizational regime change, the scouting staff is turned over to new members. But not Hank. His reputation in MLB is beyond reproach, and every new GM and scouting director wanted Jones to stay on their staff.
A slick-fielding middle infielder, Jones was drafted in the 15th round of the MLB Draft to the San Francisco Giants in 1972. He played three seasons in the Giants minor league system before joining the Dodgers organization in 1976 Rule 5 Draft.
For the rest of his career in baseball, he represented Dodger blue.
As a scout, Jones was assigned to the Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Alaska, Hawaii, and Western Canada areas. He was a fixture during the draft, often the only amateur scout allowed in the room due to his highly sought-after judgment and reputation. Notables players Hank signed include Eric Hull, Todd Hollandsworth (National League Rookie of 1996), Jason Repko, Jeff Brigham, Onan Masoaka, Owen Jones, Joe Jones, Travis Vetters, Given Kutz, Lance Rice, Stephen Ames, Ken Morimoto, Jordan Pratt, Shane Victorino, and Justin Fuller – to name a few.
His expertise is baseball scouting, player evaluation and understanding organizational decision making is beyond compare. Sign up for SMWW’s Baseball GM and Management online course and you can learn from this pillar of the game.

The Baseball GM/Scouting course was by far my favorite class that I have completed with SMWW. Hank Jones and Dan Evans provides tremendous information from their experiences and what really goes on within Baseball Operations Departments, takes you behind the scenes in scouting and teaches how to identify the top prospects with multiple tools. I feel very confident in the information that I have learned with this course and I am ready to use it first hand with an organization.

The SMWW Baseball GM & Scouting Course gave me a strong foundation and was helpful opening doors for me in professional baseball. In 2017, I successfully completed a Baseball Operations/Player Development Fellowship with the St. Louis Cardinals. Recently, I just accepted a full time opportunity for the 2018 season, this time with the Minnesota Twins as their Communications Assistant/Spanish Translator for the Major League Club. I’m very thankful to Dan Evans and Larry D’Amato for sharing their baseball knowledge, which helped me land these tremendous opportunities in professional baseball.

I'm writing to you and the rest of your team to thank you! I took the Baseball GM & Scouting Course two years ago and I learned so many skills that have helped me in my career. In December 2018, on my second season has Toros de Herrera G.M. in the Panamanian professional Baseball League my team won the Championship. In January, we got the opportunity to play at the Latin American Baseball Series in Mexico where we finished third and during this series we got a call from the Commissioner of the Caribbean asking if Panama could host a Caribbean Series and get Toros to play in the tournament. Not only did we help them organize the series and were great hosts, but a team that I put together in four days with 15 Toros Players, and 6 Panamanians from other teams and seven players from the Nicaragua and Colombian league won the Series in what is one of the most incredible histories in modern Baseball. We competed against the best teams in the winter leagues and finished with a 4W - 1L record with historic victories against Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Cuba.
Thanks for your help and hope the programs keep going strong.

I'd just like to toss a big thank you out to Dr. Lashbrook for his vision in developing such a great company which has enabled so many of us to break into the sports industry. My advice to ANYONE who is on the fence about taking an SMWW course is this: take the plunge! You won't regret it. I am proof that it's not too good to be true. The sports professionals at SMWW gave me the specific knowledge and training to enter this field and to market myself.

SMWW gave me a strong foundation with which to work upon. In an industry where information on breaking in isn't readily available, the coursework and lengthy discussions with trusted individuals that have been in between the lines so to speak was incredibly fruitful and the perfect kick-start for my working career.

As I near retirement I am attempting to make a smooth transition into baseball - either in management or scouting of some sort. The SMWW course on "Baseball GM and Scouting" was my first step toward converting stumbling blocks into stepping stones as I make a career transition.

"The greatest knowledge of all is what you learn after you know everything." I thought I knew it all after having professional success at a young age.

At the end of the program, I was prepared for success in every facet: from working in a front office to interviewing for positions. I was offered two jobs and flew to meet each team and was extremely prepared for the interview process and salary negotiation strategy. I wanted a job in baseball and ended up turning down a job offer from an MLB team to accept a Corporate Marketing Manager position with the Frisco RoughRiders in Frisco, Texas. My dream is complete!

SMWW's Baseball GM & Scouting course taught me a lot of the little things that go into scouting and working in the baseball operations side of the front office, which would of been very difficult to learn outside of this class. Larry D'Amato and Dan Evans are great teachers and provided everything they know to me in just 8 weeks. They truly care about the future of everyone in the class. I want to thank both of them and Lynn Lashbrook, as all this material I leaned will help me immensely moving forward in my career.

I always had the passion for baseball and was looking for a place to start. I had some doubts at the beginning but as I went through the 8 weeks, talking to actual MLB executives in the industry at a conference and attending the Winter Meetings, I was compelled. Dan not only taught me baseball operations but also guided me to the right people. Through Dan and this program, I connected with a bunch of MLB team executives which eventually lead me to interviews. From the connections that I made throughout, I ended up getting a job at PGA TOUR as a Tournament Operations Specialist.

SMWW is an opportunity to "jump into" a network of professionals in all aspects of the business of baseball. Having the conference at the same time as the Winter Meetings is also invaluable. Whether young or old, this is an awesome opportunity to get a solid understanding of all aspects of baseball.

I thought getting access to people who are directly involved with baseball management was great. Listening to their first hand experience gives you confidence that if you follow their suggestions and examples, it will help you further your career in baseball's management system. Both Larry D'Amato and Dan Evans provided keen insight that is just not accessible in any other forum.

SMWW played a very influential role in earning my position with the Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Operations department.

The baseball industry is a tough industry to get your foot in the door, but SMWW and their mentors give you a leg up on the competition.

I had no idea what to expect when I started this course. I thought that if I were to learn at least one thing about baseball it would be worth it. I ended up learning so much more than expected. That has everything to do with the great teachers SMWW was able to get to teach the courses. All of them are willing to help you in you start your career in baseball if you show the work ethic and passion for the game.

The Sports Management Worldwide General Manager/Scouting course has given me the opportunity to examine the latest trends in baseball management and player evaluations, along with an introduction to analytics and how the two disciplines can work together in the difficult task of finding a prospect to compete in Major League Baseball.
Dan Evans has been in professional baseball for over three decades, holding key decision making roles with five MLB franchises, including three years as the Los Angeles Dodgers Executive Vice President and General Manager. Evans' career began as an intern with the Chicago White Sox, where he worked his way up from the bottom and eventually became their Assistant General Manager/Director of Baseball Operations.
For nearly 40 years Hank Jones worked the Pacific Northwest region as a trusted scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers, helping the organization win two World Series (1981, 1988) and succeeding under four different ownership groups, seven general managers and five scouting directors.
