MAJOR LEAGUE

COMING TO TOWN

MAJOR League Baseball has announced that it will hold a coaching clinic in Nassau - the first of its kind on the island - January 23-24.

MLB, along with the support of the Bahamas Baseball Federation, will host 25 Bahamian coaches at the Junior Baseball League of Nassau’s Field of Dreams at St Andrew’s School, and the event will include the participation of Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar.

Alomar, a 12-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion with the Toronto Blue Jays, will share his experiences with the coaches during a two-day clinic.

The clinic is a continuation of MLB’s coaching development efforts. MLB has hosted programmes around the globe to teach pitching, batting, catching, fielding, strength and fitness, and scouting.

MLB’s programme teaches the coaching students how to run effective practices and identify tools to help them grow the game of baseball in their home countries.
