If you watched any baseball on TV over the last few years you’ve probably seen some variation on the MLB’s “Let the Kids Play” ad campaign. No matter which variation of the ad you’ve watched you’ll see some of the major league’s best young talent showing the emotion and flair commonly associated with the youth of the MLB’s next generation of talent. These few players are touted as the MLB’s future and a large part of why the MLB is getting younger as a whole. All of these players were given opportunities to join the major leagues at a young age and were allowed time to establish themself. This is key, as in the MLB’s veteran based power structure, historically players are expected to keep somewhat reserved until they’ve proven themselves and these players early debuts meant they could start expressing themselves earlier in their careers. However, these are only a few of the league’s 780 plus major leaguers each year and I wanted to take a look at whether the MLB is actually “Letting the Kids Play.”
