A lot of detective series series if they last long enough
wind up having the pi in a baseball, basketball or football
setting. Richard Rosen's Harvey Blissberg is an ex-pitcher
turned pi. The books are Srike Three You're Dead, Fadeaway,
and World of Hurt. Only the first is really involved with
baseball. In Robert Parker's Mortal Stakes, Spenser has a MLB
player client and baseball is involved. Harlan Coben's
protagonist, Myron Bolitar, is an ex Boston Celtic who is a
lawyer and sports agent. Of the ones I've read he has been
involved with basketball and football, tennis and golf. If
Coben hasn't written a baseball book yet, he will. Mark
