Contact the Scouting Dept for each MLB team and request the information.You should be able to leave a voice mail, but I dont know if they would provide you with the information your seeking
rdfrazier,
checkout MLB's site, I can recall seeing something on their site about Scouts and contact informattion, it just might take a little digging around to find it on mlb.com

Among the baseball rules and resource books I own, the Baseball America Directory is one of the best. BA prints a directory of everyone in baseball from MLB on down to D1-D3 NAIA colleges.....names and addresses and phone numbers....
It is published every year and although mine is a few years old, if you need a name I'd be happy to supply it.......

scouting has about a 1/3 turnover every year, i would recommend going to an event that is heavily scouted by mlb scouts or attend some pro tryout camps. MLB scouts and scouting departments get enough letters from parents claiming their kid runs 6.5 or throws 90 mph.
BA Directory is a good source.
Another possibility....my brother is a pro scout and when I have been at his house, I have seen letters he has received that were sent to the team's stadium, with a request that they be sent on to the appropriate scout. I don't know if all teams will forward it, but my guess is most probably will.

Writing to each Major League organization's scouting department and asking for your letter to be forwarded to the area scout in your region is the best way to contact scouts. Sending information to the Major League Scouting Buruea gets to scouts who communicate with all 30 clubs.
While the BA Director lists the scouts, it does not give addresses. Scout addresses can be found by purchasing the annual Baseball Blue Book.
