The number of internationally-born players
represents 28.5% of a total pool of 945 players and trails only
the 2020 (291) and 2022 (275) seasons.
As has been the case each year since MLB began releasing the
data in 1995, the Dominican Republic led the way among countries
and territories outside the United States with 104 players, its
second-highest total since 2020 (110).
Venezuela (62), Cuba (21) Puerto Rico (19) and Mexico (15)
rounded out the top five.
For the third consecutive season, the Houston Astros have the
most internationally-born players with 16, followed by the
Minnesota Twins (15), San Diego Padres (15), Miami Marlins (13)
and New York Yankees (13).
