Major League Baseball | 48 Irish Born MLB Players

Major League Baseball Logo [1]

[1]

48 Major League Baseball Players have been born in Ireland, from Andy Leonard, who left County Cavan as a baby during the famine, and was on the first professional Baseball team – the Cincinnati Red Stockings of 1869 – to PJ Conlon, from Belfast, who became the first Major League Baseball player born in Ireland since 1945 when he pitched for the New York Mets in 2018.

 

A number of these players have Irish Baseball League Awards named after them.
