Here in the states, usually the teenagers play on the school team and AAU or Legion Ball in the summer and fall. Especially here in Florida where kids can play ball pretty much all year long. Florida is a hotbed of baseball talent, especially the greater Tampa area.
Once drafted, players hit Rookie ball, and then progress to short season, Low A, High A, AA, and then AAA. Most of your better prospects skip one or two levels along the way and most prospects spend very little time in AAA ball. AA is probably the best overall competition in the minors as those teams are frequently loaded with good talent. AAA rosters are usually littered with what are called "AAAA" players; players that are good minor league guys but don't have what it takes to succeed at the major league level.
