    I'm not from San Pedro but as a kid I played there so many times. Some of the fields they showed there I've played there. And it just made me feel so proud of DR 🇩🇴🇩🇴

    Tan emocionante que un Dominicano quiera seguir viviendo en su isla y que no sienta que tiene que vivir en el exterior. Me gusta mucho ver que tenga ese sentido de pertenencia. Felicitaciones porque hacen lo que les gusta en la vida y les dan a otras personas la posibilidad de cumplir sus sueños.

      @@zioonr Nah. The most recent suspension was from a medication that by no means translates to enhanced performance, but was prescribed to him in the DR. Unless he and his doctor memorized the list of banned substances from the Anti Doping Agency, you wouldnt assume a high blood pressure pil would be considered a PED. Because it doesnt enhance performance. And even if he was hypothetically given PEDs in the Yankees org, he certainly hasn't been on them for years, and he STILL absolutely rakes. Otherwise he simply wouldn't be there. Red Sox dropped Hanley Ramirez even though they would still pay something like $20 million just to get him out of the lineup. Carl Crawford is STILL getting a massive paycheck from the Dodgers and he hasn't played in years.
      Simply put, if he couldn't play without PEDs he wouldn't be on the roster.

    All you haters need to work as hard as this kid....in your job or on the field doesn't matter. He is building the connectors and small muscles in his arm and relying on sound balance and mechanics rather than muscle to keep up with the big kids. Many of thew big boys you see in the Little league world series you wont see in high school when the little guys catch up in height and weight. I'm not hating on bigger kids, go get yours guys remember mechanics and heart will beat strength and sloppy mechanics..

    Thanks for sharing. This video is very "eye opening" to see what the youth of so many countries go through to play baseball. The county where i live in Kentucky, USA, closed down Little League bc we didn't have enough kids/coaches to participate in the program, its very nice to see that there are still people out there with the love and passion of this sport that still makes it as great as it ever was. I hope the kids are not just in it for the money but also bc of the enjoyment that baseball brings to so many people. It has been in my blood since birth but God had other plans.

    Its funny sometimes meeting foreignors who know your country better than you do. I am Dominican from Moca, never been to San Pedro not even Punta Cana. Things seem so different there.

      Same. Most Dominicans stay where they from and mostly just go to Santo Domingo and that's it.

    Honestly, MLB as an organization is missing such a huge opportunity to not only find players, but to develop an *entire comminity* that's devoted to baseball. Can you imagine the better development young players would get if they had equipment that little leagues take for granted in the US? If instead of hitting bottle caps, they has baseballs? That's where kids who don't get the opportunity to go to an elite camp could become great. If everyone is dedicated, but most don't have the basic equipment, imagine if all the dedicated kids had the chance to practice all the time like they want to anyways.
    And they're missing a chance to build that community by giving more than just a bag of baseball's - if MLB was smart, they would see that developing the city means more opportunity for the best players to find their first shots. If there was an MLB franchise, a Minor League franchise - even a low-A or Winter League training league for prospects, that's money and economic development for the whole city. And money for the whole city translates to only making it easier for great ball players to find their way to the MLB.

      @carlmarks8170 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're missing the point... Hitting bottle caps with a stick is what gives these Dominican kids the edge they need. They are developing superior hand-eye co-ordination to American kids who grow up with all the proper baseball equipment.

    I live in San Pedro and let me tell you that the baseball system here sucks. All the kids dropout of school to play baseball because all the academies are in the morning so they quit school to pursue baseball but most of them don't even make it

    • @Anamer22
      @Anamer22 7 ปีที่แล้ว +53

      dooklik It does suck, but it's MLB's fault. In the U.S. most of the players are signed when they've finished college, they're in their early 20s. In our country, if you are not signed at 16 your chances to make it are almost zero, it is unfair. MLB should change the rules and not sign players unless they've finished high school.

    when I was 13 I was legit easily hitting 80 85 mile and hour fast balls I swear to god I hit a hard line drive on an inside pitch straight back to the pitcher and he tried to bear hand the ball but he slowed it down there for the short stop to come over and make a double play. But my old club team they have younger kids practice with the 16 and 17 year olds.
