Steve Cohen: Why Baseball Ditches Formal Captains

On March 30, the New York Metz owner, Steve Cohen, sparked talk this week about why baseball

skips formal captains, unlike soccer with arm bands or football with patches.

He pointed out that Metz locker rooms don't need official titles to run smooth, especially

after their strong opening series win over the pirates.

Now facing the Cardinals, the team is letting natural leaders step up instead of picking

one guy.

Even noted baseball's unique vibe were older players or clubhouse vets to draw everyone

in without any label.

Fans and players see it differently from college ball, where captains like Pete Alonzo

rally the squad through group chats and updates since its it's unpaid and self-guided.

Pros get paid big so they handle their own grind without someone barking orders.

In baseball, yearly roster shakes make it smart to avoid forced roles.

Guys gravitate to reliable voices anyway, keeping the energy high.

That organic flow keeps Metz rolling into this series, proving you don't always need a

patch to lead the pack.
