players

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables

Let total players = $T$, pitchers = 6 = 25% of $T$.

Step2: Set up equation

$0.25T = 6$

Step3: Solve for T

$T = \frac{6}{0.25} = 24$

Step4: Match model

The purple bar has 25% = 6, so total (100%) is the model's "?".

Answer:

The purple bar model (with 25% labeled as 6 and "?" at 100%).
Total players: 24
