Media Credentials
Individuals applying for media credentials are required to sign the 'MiLB Credentials Waiver,' which can be downloaded below. Once completed, please upload the signed document into the Media Credentials Request form. If you have any questions or requests, please contact barons@barons.com.
Please note that previous media pass approval does not guarantee a pass for 2025. Media passes require an internal screening and must be approved through both the Birmingham Barons and Minor League Baseball. Approval may take 5-7 business days.
