From Roch:

The Orioles broke ground yesterday on their new, state-of-the-art training academy in Guerra, Dominican Republic.

The club was represented by chairman and CEO John Angelos, executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias and senior director of international scouting Koby Perez.

Also in attendance were Dominican Republic president Luis Abinader, D.R. minister of sports Francisco Camacho Rivas and D.R. commissioner of baseball Junior Noboa.

The 22.5-acre complex will be home to the Orioles’ regional facility for Caribbean, Central and South American player development operations, and includes three full fields, a sports turfed agility field, batting and pitching tunnels, administrative buildings, dormitories and educational facilities.

The complex will house more than 100 players, coaches and staff, and provide dormitory-style rooms and entertainment spaces. There will be three classrooms and a computer lab for on-site learning and an education plan for each player.

The setup also comes with a dining room that offers daily nutritious meals.

The timetable for completion is 12-16 months.

So, they’ll be ready for the 2023 season, we hope.  

I was happy to see that John Angelos attended. Interesting that the president of the DR was also there.
