Do the “Scout” teams have any actual affiliation to the corresponding MLB team? The closest I’ve seen is an actual MLB scour was involved with the team. There are a few others where I can’t find any connection at all

Our experience was very similar to what PitchingFan and Consultant describe although our most direct experience was 8-10 years ago and it seems things have been watered down a bit in more recent years.

When son played, his team was run by an area scout, as were most or all of the other teams. Quite a few he played with and against are on MLB rosters now. It was fairly common for rosters to hold 30-40+ players and they would come and go throughout the day's double header, based on what innings they were scheduled to play. It was definitely a "show your skills" environment more than "win the game" one and yes, bunting was generally frowned upon. Costs were very low so nobody was being bled dry
