THE LEGEND OF DURHAM Legend has it that the term “bullpen” originated from the area of shaded

grass beyond the outfi eld wall where pitchers warmed up. The cooler ground

was created by the large bull-shaped billboards for Bull Durham Tobacco, a

subsidiary of American Tobacco, and the original owner of the Durham Bulls.

2012 Erik Walker Community Champion Award. The award annually rec-

ognizes one Rays minor league player who exemplifi es teamwork, sports-

manship and community involvement, attributes exhibited by Rays minor

league pitcher Erik Walker, who died tragically in an October 2006 canoeing

accident.

Cruz received a commemorative trophy and $2,500 was awarded to the

charity of his choice. Each of the Rays six domestic minor league affi liates

nominates a candidate for the award.

cut short on Oct 26, just 11 days after his 23rd birthday.

WHILE BASEBALL REMAINS AMERICA’S NATIONAL PASTIME, IT HAS TRULY BECOME A GLOBAL GAME. Today, more than one-fourth of all Major Leaguers were born outside the United States and as a result, the Rays have expanded their international operations. While the organization spans the globe in the search for talent, the main focus is in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, where Tampa Bay operates baseball academies.

In 2012, Carlos Rodríguez was named Director of Scouting for Latin America and will supervise Tampa Bay’s efforts in the Caribbean and South America, including the Dominican Republic and

Venezuela. Carlos Alfonso, who served as the team’s Director of International Operations from 2006-2012, is now a Special Assistant with a fo-cus on Mexico, Asia, Australia and Europe as well as players coming out of Cuba.

In 2006, shortly after the new ownership group took over, the Rays agreed to a partnership with the Los Angeles Dodgers where the two clubs would share Campo Las Palmas in the Dominican

Republic, long considered the gold standard for Dominican facilities. Campo Las Palmas was home to the Rays baseball academy and a summer league team until early 2009 when the organization inaugurated a new academy located on property adjacent to Dodgers. The complex has two full diamonds and a half field, clubhouse, gym, covered batting cages, dining area and living facilities, which can accommodate up to ninety-six players.

In 2007, the Rays opened their Venezuelan baseball academy in Guacara, Venezuela, one hundred miles west of Caracas and dedicated to Andres Reiner. Reiner was a special assistant for Tampa Bay from 2007-2011 and was instru-mental in setting up the organization’s efforts in Venezuela. Between 1989 and 2005 Reiner pioneered baseball’s scouting efforts in Venezuela while working in the Houston Astros organiza-tion where he helped discover and develop future stars such as Johan Santana, Bobby Abreu, Freddy García, Carlos Guillén, Melvin Mora and Richard Hidalgo.

In addition to baseball fields, the recently reno-vated Venezuelan academy includes a dining area and dormitory which can accommodate 56 play-ers. Ronnie Blanco, former general manager of the Magallanes baseball club in the Venezuelan pro-fessional league, oversees the Rays Venezuelan

baseball operations. In 2007, Tampa Bay players joined together with Cincinnati Reds prospects to form a co-op team in the Venezuelan Summer League (VSL). In 2008 the Rays had a complete team and in 2009 and 2011 Tampa Bay won the Venezuelan Summer League championship.

The Rays also have scouting programs in Colombia directed by Angel Contreras, and in Mexico headed by Eddie Diaz.

Tampa Bay and the city of Marília, Brazil, locat-ed 230 miles northwest of São Paulo, have built a partnership to help promote baseball throughout the country. Adriano de Souza, who was hired in 2008 to scout Brazil for the Rays, coordinates all of Tampa Bay’s operations in the country. In addition to scouting Brazil for prospects, the Rays will also introduce baseball to groups from 7-14 years of age in the Marília area. In 2009, the Rays signed their first Brazilian player, infielder Leonardo Reginatto.

The Rays have also expanded scouting efforts in the Pacific Rim, Europe and Australia. Tim Ireland begins his fifth year as Pacific Rim scout-ing coordinator. Tateki “Bori” Uchibori, who served as an interpreter for former Tampa Bay infielder Akinori Iwamura, scouts for the Rays in Japan and Korea, while Keith Hsu covers Taiwan. John Gilmore enters his fifth year in charge of Europe and Australia.

In 2012 the Rays continued a program to intro-duce U.S-born minor league players to the orga-nization’s Latin American operations. Six players selected in the 2012 free agent draft spent a week at the Rays Dominican academy Dominican get-ting a firsthand look at the country that produces so much major league talent.

MENTAL SKILLS TRAINING PROGRAMSINCE ELITE ATHLETES are saddled with an overwhelming demand to succeed, the Rays developed the Mental Skills Training Program (MSTP), which addresses the mental side of the game. The MSTP operates in conjunction with all other aspects of the Rays Player Development program. Built upon the belief that what an athlete is thinking will influence his performance, the MSTP’s goal is to develop a consistent, ideal mindset for performance and provide training in coping and mastery strategies on both an individual and team basis.

When a player’s performance levels are not peaking, the mental skills training he receives provides him with a tool, something to lean on in tough times. Exercises con-ducted by the MSTP focus on concentration, awareness and communication skills. It is with these exercises that a player’s preparation, execution and evaluation—both physical and mental—help lead to streamlined thought processes and consistent per-formance at the highest level.

Greg Riddoch, the Rays third base coach from 1998-99 and a former manager of the San Diego Padres (1990-92), is in his second season with the Rays in a mental skills role. Riddoch trains the Rays, Triple-A Durham and Double-A Montgomery. Lance Green, in his fourth year with the Rays and an Associate Clinical Professor of Wellness and Human Performance at Tulane, tutors Class-A Charlotte, Class-A Bowling Green, Short-A Hudson Valley, Rookie-level Princeton and the Gulf Coast League Rays.

EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMA KEY COMPONENT OF DEVELOPING successful baseball players is providing each individual with a web of support and education as he transitions into adulthood. The Rays believe that developing quality persons who are also professional athletes goes a long way in producing quality major league players. The Rays offer their players and staff the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which is designed to provide support, education, consultation and information throughout all areas of the Rays Baseball Operations department, both in the United States and abroad in Latin America.

Spearheading the EAP’s stateside efforts is Vince Lodato, who has been integral to the program’s continued success since he began working with the Rays in 2001. Francisco Ruiz, who joined the Rays in 2007, works in conjunction with Lodato. Ruiz’s focus is in Latin America, where he provides support, along with assistance in the as-similation of Latin American players into American culture.

Lodato and Ruiz have led the EAP with a proactive approach. Education and skills development are viewed as equally critical to a player’s growth, with an understand-ing in place that each player’s needs are different at different points in their journeys. The program reaches all levels of the organization, from in-season rookie orientation, instructional leagues and extended spring training to major league and minor league spring training.

During education sessions players are instructed on topics such as the Rays Player Code of Conduct, drug abuse, performance enhancing substances and stimulants. In addition, they cover the subjects of leadership, teamwork and developing one’s career both on and off the field.
