Digital Content Fellow

<p>In partnership with Major League Baseball’s Content Group and the Social Impact Department, we present MLB.com’s Digital Content Fellowship program. This eight-month initiative is designed to attract early career candidates, including recent college graduates to prepare&nbsp; for roles in the Content Department and the baseball industry at-large. Selected applicants will work a full baseball season with the Content team. The fellowship is focused on attracting well-qualified applicants who understand the domestic and international significance of the game, the global makeup of rosters, and a general knowledge of the sport’s cultural impact on communities and fanbases.</p> <p>The Content Group has oversight of MLB.com, the official site of Major League Baseball, MLB App, and all of MLB’s social media accounts. MLB.com brings you the most up-to-date, informative and exciting baseball information in the industry. Coverage features exclusive interviews, exclusive stories, audio and video clips, and statistics.</p> <p>The Digital Content Fellowship Program features training, 1:1 mentorship from senior editors/reporters and seeks to create experiential learning opportunities in a professional environment. Some positions will be remote while others could be based in New York City. There will be opportunities for all selected participants to visit the MLB League Office &nbsp;in New York and to network with staff and sit in on meetings with other departments. Fellows will also have an opportunity to assist in the coverage of Spring Training along with MLB jewel events, including the 2026 All-Star Game,&nbsp; Little League Classic, and more.</p> <p>&nbsp;The eight-month long program begins in March 2026 and continues through mid-November 2026.
