I dunno breh. I love the game. I played from little league all the way up to sophomore year. Everyone did as well. All my boys who were black played up until freshman year, but High School hits and all of a sudden, you have 3-4 other middle schools pouring into one.
No one cares about baseball in high school. I remember that year on the baseball team and the white coaches who were bigots(looking back) moved me from pitcher to CF. I quit the next year to play basketball and football.
That's my story but I chalk up the decline to cultural. No one in high school is more influenced by things than black youth and baseball just isn't cool. I remember all my boys who were just a year removed from playing asking me why I was playing that "kaker sport"..Couple that with being the only negro out there and you start to think
...It's not even a financial thing like hockey because the Caribbean countries stay pumping out kids in baseball who are less fortunate and have less access to baseball equipment.
It's cultural breh. Same reason why white people dominate Jazz.
MLB contracts 
Breh basketball and football are such crap-shoots.
