DR Winter Ball Adventure


Dominican Republic

November 7-17, 2025

An Insider’s Tour of the Dominican Baseball Machine

A trip to the Dominican Republic for baseball fans is like a pilgrimage to Brazil for soccer lovers or Italy for foodies. Join us on this beautiful, baseball-loving Caribbean island and experience béisbol in its most vibrant and authentic form.

Led by Pachy, our expert local guide, you’ll dive deep into the Dominican baseball culture. Visit a range of venues, from rustic sandlots—complete with grazing cows in the outfield—to pristine MLB development academies and lively winter league (LIDOM) games. Along the way, connect with Dominican players and executives while immersing yourself in the island’s vibrant Latino-Caribbean culture.

No matter which tour you choose, every segment includes delicious local cuisine, cultural sightseeing, and unforgettable baseball experiences. Join us for a journey through the Dominican Republic that blends the love of the game with the spirit of the island!


Looking to step onto the field yourself? Check out our Dominican Republic Fantasy Camp, where you can play alongside former big-league stars and live out your baseball dreams in the heart of the D.R.

Local Spend


We at JapanBall feel that it’s important to intentionally support the Dominican economy with tour funds. At least 40% of Dominicans live in poverty and, even with a wealthy upper class buoying the statistics, the average monthly salary is under $400.

Rather than just skim the culture as fortunate tourists, our tours will benefit the local communities we visit. Approximately 70% of our tour price is earmarked as “local spend” that will stay in the Dominican Republic.
