Super Two

A player who has accumulated more than two but fewer than three years of Major League Baseball service time and fulfills specific criteria, such as being among the top 22% of players in terms of service time, is referred to as a “Super Two” in baseball. Players who qualify as Super Two are eligible for salary arbitration before attaining three years of service time, unlike most players who become eligible after three years.

Super Two players have the potential to significantly increase their earnings at an earlier stage of their careers through the arbitration procedure. This designation, with its potential financial benefits, allows these athletes to negotiate their remuneration based on their performance and contributions to the team before they reach the standard three years of service time required for arbitration eligibility.
