*Next week Major League Baseball will kickoff the MLB Diversity Fellowship Program, which is the most prominent action taken by MLB’s Diversity and Inclusion department to support its Front Office & Field Diversity initiative.
The program is open exclusively to recent graduates (no more than two years removed) who are people of color and/or women.
The Office of the Commissioner will place 23 candidates in coveted roles as a means to put them on a pathway to long careers in Baseball. Â It is a multi-million dollar investment by Major League Baseball and our Clubs to proactively recruit the best young minds for positions in our baseball operations, front office and league economics areas. Â The Fellows will be announced via a press release in April.
This initiative is important to the game and we are proud to spread the news around this time of year. Â More information below.
