Professional Baseball Athletes?

I recently moved to the Phoenix area in Arizona. I have a big question. I used to live in the Midwest. As you would probably know there is very short summers and long and cold winters. The baseball talent up there was okay but to find the real stars you would have to find kids like Kevyn Feiner from Sun Prairie,WI. That kid worked his butt off and commited him self to baseball. He was a great athlete. He played football too. He had an indoor batting cage and some other little things. Kevyn is now playing for the Dayton Dragons (Minor Leagues). My point is, to be looked at in the Midwest, you have to be a star. Which means you either have to be blessed with natural talent, and or you need to be 110% committed to finding a way to work out in the cold winter. And when I lived in WI I can't say that was an easy thing to do.

Since I've moved to Phoenix, I've found that there really is a lot of talent. But I know why. These kids can play baseball or any sport for that matter almost 10 - 11 months out of the year. I've obviously realize the talent in the Southern States is probably a lot better in almost any sport. Except for the indoor sports you can do anywhere in the world like basketball,hockey, etc. Since I'm only in High School, It would take loads of money to start building domes all over the midwest for baseball players to have a place to play.

My "BIG" dream is to become a major league baseball player just like any other kid who loves sports. So my question is, what percentage of Major League Baseball Players come from The south. Even better, what percent of Major League Baseball Players come from ARIZONA. I will do that math if you can lead me to a good source. Links, Ideas, what ever works. i'm just trying to see whats good! Thank YOU!
I'm just curious, i know my odds of playing at the professional level are very slim. But what are the stats on how many kids come out of the south or az?
