Help: Model release for baseball players

The short answer is no.

Individuals have rights and only they can sign a model release, or their parent / legal guardian if they're a minor. Nobody else has the right to sign a legal document on their behalf saying that they grant the photographer the right to legally exploit the photos for commercial purposes and exempting the photographer from any future legal responsibility. The subjects of the photos need to sign the releases.

As for whether they could be uploaded as Editorial, a lot would depend on the nature of the baseball tournament, whether the organisers have any restrictions on commercial photography and how professional the thing was. Have a read through the Editorial Training Manual and then ask any specific questions in the editorial Editorial Forum, if you have any:
