The MLB Players STEM League is an interactive, sports-based learning experience that connects math, strategy, and social-emotional learning through the game of baseball. Developed in partnership with the MLB Players Trust, this program combines a board game and curriculum to help students build essential skills through a hands-on experience.

Over eight lessons, students take on the roles of players, managers, and analysts, using real MLB player stats to draft teams, track performance, analyze data, and make strategic decisions. Core math concepts—including fractions, percentages, and probability—are woven into gameplay, providing real-world applications of data in sports.

Beyond math, the program reinforces teamwork, sportsmanship, and resilience through integrated bonus lessons, helping students navigate challenges and collaborate with their peers effectively. With an emphasis on social-emotional skills and critical thinking, students develop practical abilities that extend beyond the classroom.

The MLB Players STEM League is designed for youth-development organizations and schools of all types, offering a free and accessible way to engage students in learning through the excitement of baseball.

Educators should request their MLB Players STEM League games when preparing for Lesson 1 to ensure they receive them before reaching Lesson 3. Requests can be placed at this link or using the link found in Lesson 1.
