Ever noticed that baseball players spit, like a lot. Why do they do that? Today we will answer the question why do baseball players spit so much and try to show you the reasons behind this unusual and sometimes disgusting habit.

The answer to this question dates back all the way to the 1800s when chewing tobacco was really common. Baseball players used to chew the tobacco to stimulate their saliva and than spit on their hands and gloves to give it more moist and help with the dirt they gather of the field.

Fast forward to the 60s, players started to be much more educated about the dangers of chewing tobacco and started looking for other ways to chew on the field without causing harm to their bodies. In the 70s and 80s players started chewing seeds and gum and spit much less on the dugout and off the field.

Other reasons baseball players spit so much

why do baseball players spit so much (1)

  • Some players noted that while on the field, you need to get your body moving, and your mind relaxed. When you play, you have to entertain your brain or you will g crazy one player said, so chewing gum or other things keeps you on your toes and ready for action.
  • Another reason for chewing and spiting so much on the baseball field is simply tradition. When you were 5 years old growing up and you saw your favorite ball players and you idolised them, you saw them chewing and spiting and all that, and as a kid, you emulate your heroes, so when you grow up and get a chance to live your dreams, you follow tradition and do the same. Some do it anyway.

However, only in 2011 the MLB and the players union reached an agreement that players will not chew tobacco where fans can see them, causing the habit to dramatically decrease.

It has been said that today around 70 percent of players or more chew sun flower seeds or regular chewing gum instead of the old traditional tobacco, but do they still spit? Not so much like in the past.
