Recently, former Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez made a major move in the world of baseball. The 2010 American League Cy Young Award winner has become a co-owner of Baseball United, a Dubai-based organization that is dedicated to growing the game of baseball in the Middle East.
Hernandez, who is from Venezuela, is no stranger to the game of baseball. He made his Major League debut with the Mariners in 2005 and went on to become one of the most successful pitchers in the franchise’s history. He was a six-time All-Star and won the Cy Young Award in 2010. He also holds the Mariners’ record for most career wins with 169.
Now, Hernandez is looking to use his knowledge and experience to help grow the game of baseball in the Middle East. Baseball United was founded in 2017 and has since been working to promote the game in the region. The organization runs youth camps and clinics, as well as tournaments and leagues.
Hernandez’s involvement with Baseball United will be a major boost for the organization. His presence will help to draw more attention to the organization and its mission to grow the game of baseball in the Middle East.
This move is part of Hernandez’s larger effort to give back to the game of baseball. He has already been involved with several charitable organizations that support youth baseball in his native Venezuela. Now, he is looking to use his influence to help grow the game in other parts of the world.
Hernandez’s involvement with Baseball United is sure to have a positive impact on the organization and its mission. His presence will help to draw more attention to the organization and its goal of growing the game of baseball in the Middle East.
