Our 16-year-old son, Josiah, has been invited to play on a US baseball team in the Dominican Republic this coming August.
In the DR, Josiah will get to work with Dominican coaches and college baseball coaches for the week improving his baseball skills. He will have regular workouts with Dominican players and play a series of games during the week. There will be tours, college guest coach lectures and the beach. Josiah will get to train and compete at an intensity and pace similar to college and pro baseball. Josiah will also get to visit one of the MLB Dominican Academies during the trip and have a practice session with the LA Dodgers academy coaching staff. This is a very great development opportunity for anyone planning on playing college baseball.
The Dominican Republic is the world's most dynamic nation in terms of baseball; it currently puts more players in MLB, per capita, than any nation including the U.S.
Josiah will be working full-time this summer to help with the cost, but a trip like this is expensive. We don't feel that we should send him alone, so we will be going with him and have started this fundraiser to help cover the costs.
Baseball is life for this kid and it is his greatest passion. A career in baseball is Josiah's dream and we believe he has the talent to make that dream a reality.
Even if you cannot contribute, we would be forever grateful for sharing our Fundrazr page with family and friends!
Nuestro hijo de 16 años, Josiah, ha sido invitado a jugar en un equipo de béisbol de Estados Unidos en la República Dominicana el próximo mes de agosto.
Josiah podrá entrenar y competir a una intensidad y ritmo
similar al béisbol universitario y profesional. Josiah también
visitará una de las Academias Dominicanas de la MLB durante el
viaje y tendrá una sesión de práctica con el cuerpo técnico de la
academia de los Dodgers de Los Ángeles. Esta es una gran
oportunidad de desarrollo para cualquiera que planee jugar béisbol universitario.
La República Dominicana es la nación más dinámica del mundo
en términos de béisbol; actualmente pone más jugadores en MLB, per
cápita, que cualquier otra nación.
Josiah trabajará a tiempo completo este verano para ayudar con el costo, pero un viaje como este es costoso. No creemos que debamos enviarlo solo, así que iremos con él y hemos comenzado esta recaudación de fondos para ayudar a cubrir los costos.
El béisbol es la vida de este niño y es su mayor pasión. Una carrera en el béisbol es el sueño de Josiah y creemos que tiene el talento para hacer realidad ese sueño.
Incluso si no puede contribuir, ¡estaremos eternamente agradecidos por compartir nuestra página de Fundrazr con familiares y amigos!
