Pittsburgh Pirates team president Frank Coonelly traveled to the Dominican Republic in January to visit the team’s baseball training complex under construction in the municipality of El Toro. Coonelly also toured other similar major league facilities for further ideas.
Coonelly reported that the El Toro complex construction is on time, and that it will be ready before the Pirates’ Dominican Summer League team starts play in late May. The academy is being built to house and train young Dominican ballplayers. Dorm rooms, offices, clubhouse and training areas have been built, playing fields are being sodded, and the team is working on food services for their young players housed at El Toro.
