Roberto Alomar poses with his plaques at Clark Sports Center during the Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony on July 24, 2011 in Cooperstown, New York. In 17 major league seasons, Alomar tallied 2,724 hits, 210 home runs, 1,134 RBI, a .984 fielding percentage and a .300 batting average.

Major League Baseball announced that it will hold a coaching clinic in Nassau, Bahamas – the first of its kind on the island – on January 23rd-24th.  MLB, along with the support of the Bahamas Baseball Federation, will host 25 Bahamian coaches at the Junior Baseball League of Nassau’s Field of Dream at St. Andrew’s School, and the event will include the participation of Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar.

Alomar, a 12-time All-Star and two-time World Series Champion with the Toronto Blue Jays, will share his experiences with the coaches during a two-day clinic.

The clinic is a continuation of MLB’s coaching development efforts.  MLB has hosted programs around the globe to teach pitching, batting, catching, fielding, strength and fitness, and scouting.  MLB’s program teaches the coaching students how to run effective practices and identify tools to help them grow the game of baseball in their home countries.

Media will have the opportunity to speak with Alomar and MLB staff during the clinic.
