Research on Major League Baseball indicates that Latino players make up approximately what percentage of players on major league teams?

• A. About 5%
• B. About 15%
• C. About 25%
• D. About 40%

Answer: (C)

Latino players make up about a quarter of MLB rosters, so the main idea here is recognizing how sizable the Latino presence is in Major League Baseball. This reflects a long-standing pipeline from Latin American and Caribbean countries where many players begin early in youth leagues and sign as international free agents or join academy systems. Because of this strong influx, you’ll see Latino players across most teams and positions, making up roughly 25% of players rather than a much smaller share. The smaller options would understate the representation, while a figure as high as 40% would overstate it given the mix of players from various backgrounds in MLB.
