Major League Baseball plans to hold its first clinic in China,
inviting 60 players for instruction in Wuxi from August 7-26.
The players are 12 to 15 years old and were selected from
existing baseball groups in Beijing, Chengdu, Dalian, Guangzhou,
Shanghai, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Wuxi. MLB will have eight
instructors at the clinic led by Rick Dell, coach at The College of
New Jersey.
MLB also had held clinics in Queensland, Australia, and
Tirrenia, Italy.
