About Us
About Us
We're building the equitable systems needed to make baseball more accessible.
Our Mission
Founded in 2020, The Players Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization led by current and former professional baseball and softball players, dedicated to breaking down systemic barriers to equity and inclusion both on and off the field.
Our mission is to address baseball’s systemic barriers to equity and inclusion by building pathways to opportunity, on and off the field, for an undeniable pipeline of Black talent.
Our Vision
The Players Alliance is where we as black professional players commit to owning and supporting solutions to increase the participation of our beloved community in baseball. We do this because our representation is important to both the community and the game.

Our core values
Our core values serve as a foundation for all that we do and our shared expectations of each other and our partners.
LEADERSHIP
We believe that as black players we have both the right and responsibility to lead using our unique, yet shared experiences, education and collective voice
OWNERSHIP
We believe our experiences (both success and failure) in the game of baseball uniquely qualify us to transition from players of a game, to owners of desired solutions to increase the presence and involvement of African Americans
STEWARDSHIP
We respect every gift received and relied upon by our mission and commit to transparency and effective stewardship
DIVERSITY
We believe that diversity is an asset and must be viewed and pursued as a priority throughout the game of baseball
EQUALITY
We believe equally in the lessons found in a player’s success and failure because they both impact the talent pool available to the game.
PROTECTION
We are committed to advocating for thoughtful interventions and protective guidance for players and their families to combat the special vulnerabilities and pitfalls found in the journey towards and within professional play
SERVICE
We are committed to using our voice at the table to serve on behalf of those unaware of the table’s existence.
