About 28% of major league baseball players are foreign-born, which is a far higher percentage than a generation ago, and a higher percentage than in professional football and basketball.
Owners may prefer recruiting foreigners to play in the United States for the same reason that big corporations prefer foreign-born engineers: the visa system makes it easier to control foreign-born labor compared with American citizens.
