A five-person panel of Major League Baseball players, coaches and executives discussed ways to get more Black people involved at all levels of the sport. The conversation was streamed Tuesday on MLB.com. The group talked about ways to make current Black MLB players more visible in communities. They also talked about ways to make MLB more diverse at the sport’s upper levels, including managers and executives. The number of Black players in MLB has been dwindling for years, hovering around 8% of the league in recent seasons.
