Baseball stands as the Dominican Republic’s beloved national pastime. In the hearts of Dominicans, “pelota” transcends a mere sport; it embodies boundless passion, a profound love for our homeland, and a symbol of unity. For the youth, baseball is synonymous with aspirations and optimism for a brighter tomorrow – an avenue to potentially join the ranks of renowned Dominican baseball legends. Just look at the inspiring journeys of Sammy Sosa, Pedro Martínez, David Ortiz, Robinson Canó, José Reyes, Juan Marichal, Bartolo Colón, and a myriad of others who turned dreams into reality. Join us in celebrating this cherished legacy of baseball excellence.
In addition to avidly following their preferred Major League Baseball (MLB) players, every Dominican passionately supports a local team during the Dominican baseball season. Spanning from mid-October to late January, this season showcases six teams competing at top-notch professional stadiums nationwide.
