    I feel the same way I have had many Dominican friends over the years and love their culture, their nature, their family sticks together family first way of living their lives, I would love to travel there someday and experience the people who so many MLB teams cultivate and the sheer joy you see on these kids coming up is a joy. Like the joy I had playing as a child. Baseball is in the blood as I've heard Dominicans explain it to others who want to know about their ways & through seeing how dominant they are in the sport now on our national league level it the best!!! So happy being a Boston native that we have a team of players that are the best players and am proud that a majority of them are Dominican. I love Dominican people & their joy when playing is contagious. THey love the game and it shows! I am so happy that coming from a city who was the last to integrate out of all the teams in the USA (disgusting & dis race full Yawkee was!) But now we have the most talented and they are rightly in the majority because they are the best players!

    Alfredo Arias: Former minor league pitcher in the Toronto Blue Jays organization. Reached as far as High-A baseball. Arias develops good people first (if you attend his academy, you GO TO SCHOOL), and good ballplayers second. He is a fine man who is paying it forward in the Dominican Republic. Eight out of a hundred players signed by a MLB organization by the Arias y Goodman academy? The odds are great, so 8% is outstanding. Put it this way. If you take any hundred players from any high school or college program, the odds of the MLB drafting eight of them would be rare!

    "Good hands, good arm, and quick feet". This is what scouts, everywhere, are looking for. One does not need a stopwatch or metrics, or any sort of statistics to measure these attributes. At least at this point, the metrics come later. Also, aptitude and self discipline are very important. Is a student willing and able to learn? Can he retain information? Is he serious about learning English? Does he report to practices and such on time? We must give Latin American ballplayers who play in the States the utmost of admiration and respect.
