Professional Athletes needs high school and college so about 8 years of school.

It depends upon how good or successful one wishes to become.

I have often said that to become an excellent, highly competent performer and great competitor in a field, one in primary years or in teen years, needs about 4 or 5 dedicated years - more if one starts a skill over about 16 or 17 years old.

However, to become a national champion or a world champion, requires the entire heart and soul, and that means continued, almost unrelenting self-sacrifice to the sport and constant dedication to total self-improvement: it is a schooling of self and of also developing the humility to learn from others that never ends while one wishes to continue to athletically perform to their utmost.

To me, the schooling never ends.

What degree would you need to become a pro baseball player?

You do not need any type of degree to play baseball. Many players have never even been to college let alone have a degree. These players are typically drafted right out of high school around 18 or 19 years of age, so in essence, some players will only have their high school diploma. That being said, to be a professional athlete or in this case a professional baseball player, a degree is not required.
