How to read the country list

Players on Baseball Data Hub were born in 69 countries, and this page lists them by number of players. The largest groups are USA (20,284), D.R. (939), Venezuela (523), Cuba (464), and P.R. (311). The bubble chart sizes each country by its player count; click a bubble or a name to open the country page.

Countries are grouped by the birthplace recorded in the Lahman biographical data, which is not the same as nationality or national-team eligibility. Historical names are kept as recorded, which is why some countries appear under more than one name. Each country page lists every player born there with birth city, debut and final years and career totals, and summarizes the leaders in games, home runs and average.
