FEDOM boosts the future of Dominican baseball with a historic development plan
The Dominican Baseball Federation (FEDOM) has marked a milestone in its institutional management by approving the Baseball Development Plan in the Dominican Republic. This ambitious initiative will be financed directly with the funds obtained by the country following its outstanding participation in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, seeking to boost the growth of this discipline in every corner of the national territory.
The General Assembly, where the agreement was made official, was attended by key figures of international baseball, including representatives from World Baseball Classic Inc., MLBPA, MLB, as well as the general manager of the 2026 World Baseball Classic Dominican team, Nelson Cruz, and executives from Grupo de Medios Panorama.
A strategic investment for national talent
Juan Núñez, president of FEDOM, described this approval as a turning point for the sport. According to Núñez, the main objective is to strengthen provincial and National District associations, ensuring that resources are transformed into real opportunities for players, coaches, and clubs.
We are very pleased with the approval of this plan, as it represents a direct investment in the future of Dominican baseball, and its funding will come from the prize money obtained by the country based on the collective effort of our national team in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
