Los Tigres Baseball
Los Tigres Baseball teams are lead by Rafael Gross, through The Dugout Baseball Academy. The purpose of Los Tigres teams is to provide athletes the opportunity for professional baseball training by a unique group of former Dominican MLB & college players, utilizing the methods of training techniques and player development with fundamentals and skills that the coaches have acquired throughout their professional & college careers. They continue the Dominican tradition of teaching & training the future of baseball: a tradition in which professional players in the Dominican work with the youth from their home towns & cities, training and preparing them as the youth pursue their dreams of playing at a higher level. Los Tigres coaches work to train and prepare their players for travel ball, high school, and beyond.

Los Tigres Training & Development
Los Tigres players join us from all over the Greater Houston Area. Players for Los Tigres have had the opportunity to represent their respective little leagues at state, regional and Little League World Series tournaments; their respective high schools at local and state levels; and at regional and national events for USA Baseball. Players from the inaugural Los Tigres team are currently preparing to play for their respective colleges, with 10 of our former players from the inaugural team, signed to play JUCO, D1, D2, and D3.
The success of Los Tigres teams could only be made possible by the dedication of the players and coaches, and the amazing baseball families we have been blessed to work with, and call our friends.
It truly makes Los Tigres teams one of a kind.
