The sun is shining, the bat cracks, and the air is electric! Baseball season is here—and we’re thrilled to celebrate by announcing that the MLB Players STEM League by Learn Fresh is now on the Mizzen Education platform!
Welcome to a world where math meets the baseball diamond. The MLB Players STEM League, developed by Learn Fresh in collaboration with the MLB Players Trust, is not just a curriculum; it’s a game-changing journey that blends sports and math into a dynamic experience. Launched in the United States in 2022, this middle school program has grown to serve students in Latin America, South Korea, and Japan. During the 2024-25 season, MLB Players STEM League served 500 educators and over 25,000 students across all regions.
“I am incredibly proud of the MLB Players STEM League and its transformative impact around the world. Seeing the program grow from its roots in the U.S. to now inspiring and engaging students all over the globe is truly a testament to the universal passion for sports and power of STEM education to bridge cultures.” — Nick Monzi, Learn Fresh CEO
Through eight exhilarating lessons, young people will step into the shoes of players, managers, and analysts. They’ll dive into real MLB stats, strategizing to draft their teams and make game-winning decisions. But what makes this program truly special? It’s all about the winning combination of core math concepts and essential life skills. As students learn to analyze data, calculate batting averages, and discuss probabilities, they’re also fostering teamwork, resilience, integrity, and fair play. It’s a game plan for success that extends far beyond the field.
“Every aspect of our daily lives is impacted by math, including education, civics, finance, and career pathways. MLB Players STEM League creates an innovative pathway for youth to engage in learning through the fundamentals of baseball and STEM exploration.” — Angelina Garner, VP of Strategic Innovation and Partnerships at Mizzen Education
The curriculum is tied to Common Core State Standards and 21st Century Learning Skills, and offers a series of adaptable lessons, allowing students to develop important executive function and life skills while taking a deeper dive into stats and data analysis in the game. So dust off your gloves, gather your team, and prepare for an extraordinary adventure that combines education and excitement.
