In this episode of the "9innings Podcast," host Kevin Thompson, founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group, discusses the decline of African American players in Major League Baseball (MLB). He highlights a significant drop from 19% in 1995 to 7% in 2023.
Kevin attributes this trend to several factors, including the lack of domestic academies in the U.S., insufficient representation and role models, economic barriers, competition from other sports, and socioeconomic challenges.
