You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Puerto Rico Baseball Academy & High School''' ('''PRBAHS''') is a [[non-profit organization]] combining [[Academic|academics]] and [[sports]] programs into one curriculum.  Its goal is to prepare its students for [[higher education]], competitive [[college scholarship]] opportunities, and the [[Major League Baseball Draft]].  The PRBAHS is one of the baseball [[high school]]s in [[Puerto Rico]] or the [[United States]] with this type of learning environment.

The school is located 30 minutes outside of [[San Juan, Puerto Rico|San Juan]] near the [[University of Turabo]] in [[Gurabo, Puerto Rico]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.prbahs.org/index.php?node=476 |title=Contact (Spanish) |publisher=PRBAHS |accessdate=June 17, 2016))</ref> It admits students ages 14–18 into 10th through 12th grade.

==History==
The school was first envisioned by former [[Texas Rangers (baseball)|Texas Rangers]] [[pitcher]] [[Edwin Correa]], who was motivated by the decline of Puerto Rican players in the [[Major League Baseball|major leagues]].  The [[Dominican Republic]] has recently had many more players signed than Puerto Rico has, in part because of differing rules.  United States standards, upheld by the PRBAHS, require players to complete a high school diploma or to be at least 18 years of age, while Dominican players are able to sign with major league organizations as early as 16 years of age.  For the 2003 season, there were 38 versus 79 on the Major League rosters that came from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, respectively.

Although the school was founded in 2002, its inception began 1999, when founder [[Ed Correa]] coached at [[Las Palmas]], the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]]’ complex located in the Dominican Republic. It was at Las Palmas where his vision began and he decided to use the complex as a model to draft his own prototype.

==Program curriculum==
The core academic curriculum includes courses in [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[English language|English]], [[United States History]], [[Puerto Rican History]], [[Latin American History]], [[Biology]], Work Management, [[Chemistry]], [[Physics]], [[Geometry]], [[Algebra]], [[Trigonometry]], and [[Pre-calculus]].  The available electives are [[Health education|Health]], [[Photography]], Psychology, Sports Psychology, Music, Journalism, [[Ethics]], [[History of Baseball]], and the Critical Analysis of [[Chess]].

The baseball program emphasizes the mental, physical, and technical aspects of each [[baseball positions|position]] to create a complete understanding of the game.  Topics covered include throwing mechanics, [[weight training]], fielding mechanics, [[communication]], running the bases, the mental aspect of the game, run downs, the art of pitching, the art of catching, and [[bunt (baseball)|bunt]] plays.

==Community involvement==
In addition to academics and sport, the school also encourages community outreach and involvement in local activities.  Students visit [[hospital]]s during the [[holiday]]s, participate in interactive sporting days with disadvantaged children, and visit centers for children.
