Barahona isn’t a backdrop for a one-off trip. It’s home for our players, our staff, and the long-term work Empower Baseball is committed to.
Barahona is a coastal city in the southwest Dominican Republic with a deep love for baseball and a real need for educational support and opportunity. Our players come from neighborhoods where the game is everywhere, but access to resources is not.
