#8 Path to MLB May Lead Through France

Elissa Mayeux, a 16-year-old shortstop on the French under-18 junior national team, is the first female to be added to the Major League Baseball’s international registration list. Mayeux, a right-handed hitter, became eligible to be signed by any MLB club starting on July 2, 2015. She was one of four players from the French team selected to participate in MLB's European Elite Camp in August.

Of the 76 players who have signed with major-league teams in the 10-year history of the camp, only two have reached the majors, according to MLB.com.
