MLB aims to increase African American representation in the majors amid declining numbers, with only 6.2% of players being African American in 2023 compared to 18% in 1991, per a study by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at Central Florida.
The DREAM Series and Andre Dawson Classic provide opportunities for historically Black college and university players to showcase their skills to scouts and potentially pursue a pro baseball career, reflecting MLB's efforts to discover and support future African American stars.
