The U.S. will have the most, with a team or more in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba....maybe a team in England, South America somewhere, Central America as well.

So my question is, with my league set as a 'United States' league, most the players will come from there won't they? Does having teams in those countries increase players from those countries at all?

Dark Cloud would probably have a better answer, but I think part of the answer comes in the 'Foreigner Percentage' variable. With a test league I set up yesterday, I created four divisions of teams with each division having teams based in one country. I set foreigner percentage at 0 and the teams were stocked with a pretty even mix of players from only those 4 countries, even though the league was based in England.

I would suspect that in your case, you would get a mix of players from all the countries in your league, but that the better players would come from the better baseball playing nations.
