Exemptions for ADHD drugs in MLB drop to record-low 54

Can we give PCA cocaine
i’m gonna say i don’t think that’s the record low.
57 total exemptions including the one for hypertension, one for sleep disorder and one for hormone function.
That appears to be just slightly less than 4% of MLB players, while in the general population close to 5% have a prescription for a stimulant.
And that’s 5% of the whole population including people like newborns that don’t generally get prescribed Adderall.
I gotta say, I’m kind of impressed. I would have guessed a much larger percentage of players would at least keep an exemption and script handy in case they need a little pick me up.
