You can’t just say it’s cultural. There has to be a genetic component to it.

latinos are more likely to grow up playing baseball than american whites and there are more of them in the first place. not rocket science

not the same, a top tier dominican kid will basically only focus on baseball from age 10, they are playing it all day, every day year round hoping for that meal ticket. jap kids still have to go to school, deal with the winter, live up to cultural expectaitons, etc. also japan has its own pro league which actually pays decently.

there aren't that many young japanese people and they're basically required to be established NPB stars before the MLB can poach them. latinos on the other hand have an increasingly soccer-esque pipeline into MLB

You’re mainly talking about the DR and Venezuela.

Baseball is the only game in town, it’s poor, but most importantly, kids can sign pro contracts when they’re teenagers. So Jorge is taking BP and grounders at short for 8 hours a day while Birdshit Braden has to sit through Algebra and English Lit.

Also once they’re signed the team pays for everything, you don’t need to have UMC parents shelling out thousands for gear and fees.

I used to teach at a baseball academy outside of santo domingo, dr.

the DR countryside is unimaginably poor, and the more rural it is, the blacker it is. people are also incredibly patriotic, love being dominican. Dominicans dominating beisbol is something every single person is willing to sacrifice for, like a war-time effort or something

From the age they can walk, boys are playing some kind of stickball. The one game I saw all the time in the dirt streets, icr the name, but the pitcher chucks the cap of a laundry bottle and the batter uses a broomstick. The plastic cap flutters like a motherfucker, almost impossible to make contact. They do this all day, every day, from like age 4.

Anyone with any talent - and genetically many of these rural rice-picking blacks are direct descendants of slaves - is immediately lionized in the village, and nationally. They are taken from their homes and sent to live in a baseball academy around age 12, where they play and are coached for around 10 hrs a day.

a mlb team can then sign them for like 50k, own them as prospects, and that is more money than anyone in the village has ever seen, ever.

tyft.

way back in the day when baseball was bigger in the US than all other sports combined, a job playing baseball was one of the few ways to escape working in a mine, a factory, or on a farm.

Read up on ichiros dad. He basically did this. Ichiro was allowed to play with kids one day a year on his birthday. Otherwise only baseball. Of course he hates his dad now and they don't speak.

Makes you wonder how many guys put their sons through similar training regiments who you never hear about because they never made it to the professional level. THOSE kids have a legitimate complaint. It’s hard to feel the same sympathy for 7x All Star Ichiro
