The NFL and MLB have lower minimums but they also carry more players on their rosters.
The base pay for a drafted NFL rookie is $325,000 as long as he is on the team opening day.
The MLB minimum pay is $555,000.

“According to The Athletic, the average salary for a minor league baseball player was $6,000 in Single-A, $9,350 in Double-A and $15,000 in Triple-A in 2018.”
