The Major League Baseball International European Baseball Academy was created to provide training for European and African baseball prospects by former major leaguers. It also provides a central scouting location during the weeks it is open and over two dozen Academy alumni have signed contracts with MLB teams. In 2011, Alex Liddi became the first Academy product to be called up to the major leagues. Instructors have included Barry Larkin, Lee Smith, Art Howe, Wally Joyner and Bruce Hurst.
