CAMPO LAS PALMAS/DODGERS ACADEMY

AIR-SD-1771

The Los Angeles Dodgers' baseball academy in the Dominican Republic, Campo Las Palmas, enters its 25th year of helping develop future Dodgers.  Campo Las Palmas has set the standard for what a baseball academy should be and we're extremely proud of the work done here, not only on the field, but in the community as well.

Campo Las Palmas, which opened its doors on March 21, 1987, is located in the town of Guerra, just east of the Dominican Republic's capital city of Santo Domingo. When it opened nearly 20 years ago, it was the first-of-its kind facility and has since been replicated by numerous teams throughout baseball. Located on 75 acres of land, the academy is equipped with two full and two half baseball fields, a dining room, kitchen, recreation room and two two-story dormitories that accommodate up to 100 players.

Among the notable alumni to reach the Major Leagues from Campo Las Palmas are current Dodgers Willy Aybar and Franquelis Osoria, as well as former Dodgers Adrian Beltre, Pedro Martinez, Raul Mondesi and Pedro Astacio, among others.
