When Carlos Beltran Opened his Baseball Academy in Puerto Rico in 2011, he wanted to do more than just teach baseball. He wanted to create a place where athletic abilities and higher education were equally important. The result? A bilingual high school where sports and academics are fully integrated into the curriculum.
La Vida Baseball traveled to the Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy in 2019, where we spoke with Carlos, instructors, faculty and Matthew Lugo - one of the 25 players drafted in the history of the academy. Matthew was drafted 69th overall in the 2019 draft.
