It's interesting because I played for the U15 GB team. It's almost the same the only difference really is the Diamonds they play on and they have more players. Really cool to see baseballs is all over the world
2012 15U crushes the Dominican selection... 2013 Dominican Republic rolls throughout the WBC undefeated becoming champions of the World... It's all about perception I guess.
FaDeD RemixZ About time I would say. A first world country, that invented the sport, with a 300 mil+ population. Still couldn't go undefeated like DR though.
Plenty of programs with great players these days. This is the best organized group out there but these aren't the best players at this age in the country, these are some of the best or better players. If you've watched their games on TV you come to realize that pretty quickly.
***** yes there are, they hold these things called identification series where they get the best players from each part of the country (the players tryout for these at select facilities, the one for the southeast is at CBC baseball in charlotte nc) they then play other elite players from other parts of the US. The best players are hand picked and chosen for the team.
I wish that school wasnt mandatory after 8th grade. Imagine how much better we all could be if we had an extra 4 years to just straight work on baseball and not worry about school!! Man, if I had 7 hours a day to work on baseball other than school work, i'd be throwing 95 and benching 300 as a sophomore
you dont need to be invited u go to a regional tryout pay 250 and if u make that team u go with the regional team to play against other regional teams in nc then they pick the 40 man roster play and work out then they pick the team the other guy dosent know what hes talking about
+TheFighter1888 The difference between you and them is that they're humble. Work hard, adn are determined. You just talk yourself up in youtube comments xD
Gave me goosebumps when the game started. I miss playing so much.
5 people had birth certificates in crayon.
That field is beautiful.
I love Dominican Republic I'm Dominican but I was born in the bronx
22 hours nd a they get the W .
I love this video. It really shows the talent USA has when it is put together. Our youth's are very good with bright futures.

I have played a 15u team before it would be awesome to play with these guys they are really good
im sure the best 15u Dominicans had alredy signed with MLB teams and were unavailable
Thats actually true hahaha
Dominicans have to be 16 by June to be able to be signed.
Lmao that's the truth haha. 16 year old kids playing in rookie ball
Gotta be 16 but the kids are already in camps by 10 or 11 so the best talent is in the academy's ran by MLB teams or other baseball academies in DR
Wanna have that life so bad
same😧
Amen
Me tooo
I did for a year, i got a serious flu after from body exhaustion
Work for it
Real tough playing the sport you love and traveling across the world I would take this opportunity anyway
I've been to dominican. Played ball with the kids there. Sooo good!

Am 15 and I look nothing like this these kids look big
Yeah they have baseball bodies A LOT of conditioning
Andre Peralta reason they are on the team, no national team goes out looking for tiny kids.
It's because these kids peaked early
Andre Peralta I'm almost 14 and am about the same size as them. Yet I only throw like 64
How do they select players to be on this team and what are the requirements?
Requirements: things that must be fulfilled in order.
+jjammmees he asked what the requirements are not what requirements are smartass. Learn to read and process information properly.
sabria a salinas Then you win the game.
being really good
mattkeller22 showcases or doing good in high events such as PG
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but these guys don't look 15, right?

Why do they have two bat bags
how old are these kids?
"15U"
Hmm, I don't know.
16 and 15. You have to be 15 at the time of the tryouts
its 4 a.m bc your scheduler didnt think to book a flight 8 hours ago when everyone was awake and could have slept the night away on the flight..
Who's the kid that thought they were in the Dominican ?
Ryan Kardamis nick madrigal he played at Oregon state and now plays in the White Sox organization
