A very eye opening chart. Look at ole Oklahoma repping so well. This is by birth state.

Other than Deleware being near the top, All the top states have decent weather. I'd say harsh winters have a pretty significant role in this.

Texas is way lower then I expected

Useless unless it's done per capita

Louisiana that low makes all of the LSU National Championships pre NIL all the more amazing.

Louisiana is 10th all time and DC is #1...
This is only by birth state. I was born in one state and my parents moved when I was 2 months. I'm sure many people consider where they grew up a different place from where they were born.

Texas that low is surprising especially considering they are top 3 currently and top 5 HOF.
I wonder how much this would change given changes in length of time of sample size.

Alabama punching above its weight.

Very skewed and easily manipulated data here

Now do it by college.

And Illinois - 5th in total MLB players currently (behind only California, Texas, Florida, and Georgia) and 7th per capita is really strong for a genuine cold weather state. Chicagoland area travel and high school (especially at the 3A and 4A levels) baseball is quite strong - those kids all end up in the SEC and ACC, though.
Some of the denominators for the per capita calculation look a bit off (California's to name one) - wonder if they normalized the per 1M in some way.

Is Kentucky highlighted because they're gay?

This list above is sorted by current players per 100m population.

Doesn't make sense to count DC but not Puerto Rico.

Alabama has ZERO baseball championships. It’s really a shitty athletic program other than Saban anomaly.

"#49 District Of Columbia"
Is that an official state now?

The two previous replies to your comment were both incorrect.
Per Capita is in the 4th column. The per capita is per 1 million population.
There is something wrong about the Oklahoma per capita number in column 4.
13 players and per 2020 census 3.96 million people. According to July 2025 population there are about 4.12 million people in Oklahoma. Those two population numbers equals 3.28 and 3.16 respectively.
I'm now suspect of all the data. To get that 4.123 number in column 4, the population of Oklahoma needs to be about 3.15 million people.
