Representation Matters in Baseball

Paige Bueckers Speaks Up for Black Women

Olivia Miles' Impressive Rookie Season

Closing Remarks and Call to Action

Joy Taylor recaps the Netflix-streamed Home Run Derby, where Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker hit six straight homers in the final to beat Philly favorite Kyle Schwarber, win his first Derby in his first appearance, become the first Cardinal to claim the title, and earn $1 million—more than his season salary—while emphasizing his goal of inspiring more Black kids to play baseball as MLB’s Black player percentage has risen to 6.8%. Taylor then highlights Paige Bueckers calling out that there are zero Black women head coaches in the WNBA, noting Black women’s importance to the league and citing Noelle Quinn as the last Black woman head coach. She closes with rookie Olivia Miles’ impact for the Lynx, including a 70-point combined effort with Kayla McBride, a record-fast 400 points/100 assists/100 rebounds in 22 games, and All-Star starter recognition.
