The trend of Black participation in MLB has decreased again, but the sport’s youth outreach provides hope.
Friday is the 75th anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color line in Brooklyn, and the day that Major League Baseball honors his memory league-wide.
A look at the 30 active rosters before Thursday night’s games revealed just 5.59% Black players, compared to 25.7% Latino. Add a dozen players currently on injured lists and the percentage of Black players jumps to a shade over 7%. “My son just graduated and he had like a 50% or 60% scholarship, which is pretty good,” Baker said. “But you go to a school that costs $50,000 or $60,000 or $70,000 a year, well, somebody has to supplement that even if you get half.”
