Caribbean Baseball Academy
Building Champions Beyond the Game
Caribbean Baseball Academy (CBA) is not just a training facility it’s a powerful, purpose-driven movement focused on transforming lives through the game of baseball. Our Academy serves as a premier platform for discovering, mentoring, and elevating talented young athletes across Latin America, particularly in regions rich with raw baseball talent but lacking the necessary resources, exposure, and guidance to succeed on the global stage.
Founded by internationally renowned baseball agent Joe Cubas, a trailblazer in Latin American player representation, CBA was born out of decades of firsthand experience in elite player development, global scouting networks, and a deep, personal commitment to giving back to the baseball communities that shaped his career. Cubas’ legacy marked by successful signings, career launches, and life changing opportunities lives on in the core mission of the Academy.
Our reach extends from the grassroots fields of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo, Dom Republic, to the professional arenas of Major League Baseball and top-tier collegiate programs. We operate at the dynamic crossroads of passion, preparation, and opportunity, offering structured development pathways for athletes who possess both the skill and the heart to compete at the highest levels.
At CBA, we believe that greatness is not only measured by athletic performance but also by character, discipline, and the willingness to grow. Through state of the art training, bilingual mentorship, and a globally connected network, we ensure every player who walks through our doors is not only prepared for the game but for life.
