Description
A previous study compared baseball players who had brief careers in the Major Leagues with controls who had never been professional athletes on then-and-now measures of sport motivation, adjustment to important adult roles, and psychological well-being. The purpose was to see how well players who did not become wealthy from baseball were able to adjust to life after sport. In the present study we compared 50 pitchers with 52 hitters on these same measures. Results showed that pitchers were slightly taller than hitters, and that the two groups had similar adjustment styles to life after sport. Results concur with a previous study showing that most former players are well-adjusted after leaving professional baseball. **********
