The Dominican Republic (i/dəˌmɪnᵻkənrᵻˈpʌblɪk/; Spanish:República Dominicana[reˈpuβlika ðominiˈkana]) is a country on the island of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean region. The western three-eighths of the island is occupied by the nation of Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands, along with Saint Martin, that are shared by two countries. Both by area and population the Dominican Republic is the second-largest Caribbean nation (after Cuba), with 48,445 square kilometres (18,705sqmi) and nearly 10 million people, one million of whom live in the capital city Santo Domingo.
And why so many players are among the best in Major League Baseball.

The DOMINICAN REPUBLIC and BASEBALL go together like peanut butter and jelly. It is (by far) the most popular sport in the country, and they have sent more players to the big leagues than any other country besides the United States. That is beyond impressive for a country of just 11 million!
Baseball is seen as a gateway for many families to escape poverty, as teenagers as young as 16 years old have the chance to sign multi-million-dollar contracts.
Each one of the 30 MLB teams have a baseball academy in the D.R., and I was lucky enough to be invited to the Arizona Diamondbacks facility and was very impressed by the talent of these young kids.

Baseball has a long history in the United States, but it also has strong roots in the Caribbean and Latin America, particularly in the Dominican Republic. Cubans were the first to bring the game from the US to their country in the 19th century, and later, wealthy Cubans introduced it to the Dominican Republic. Over the following decades, the sport became deeply ingrained in Dominican culture, while in the United States, baseball evolved into a multi-million dollar industry.
Eventually, the United States began to seek out Cuban baseball talent. But when diplomatic relations between the two countries deteriorated, the Dominican Republic emerged as the primary focus of Major League Baseball's talent pipeline.
As Dominicans demonstrated their skill and success as baseball players, the MLB started establishing academies in the Dominican Republic, which were affiliated with MLB teams in the United States. This system facilitated the influx of numerous talented Dominican players into MLB teams. Currently, Dominicans dominate Major League Baseball in the United States, making up more than 10 percent of all players in the league. They significantly outnumber players from other foreign-born countries.
To gain a deeper understanding of how baseball spread throughout the Dominican Republic and why the island produces so many MLB players, watch the latest episode of Vox Atlas.

Baseball is seen as a gateway for many families to escape poverty, as teenagers as young as 16 years old have the chance to sign multi-million-dollar contracts.
Each one of the 30 MLB teams have a baseball academy in the D.R., and I was lucky enough to be invited to the Arizona Diamondbacks facility and was very impressed by the talent of these young kids.
As a former baseball player and huge fan, I truly had a blast shooting this video over the last few days around the Dominican Republic and I hope you enjoy watching!!
