Historians disagree about how baseball was introduced to the Dominican Republic. Many scholars believe that the sport was introduced to Cuba, which in turn brought it to the Dominican Republic in the 19th century. Others believe that it was introduced to the Dominican Republic by members of the American military in the early 20th century.

Although scholars do not know how baseball was introduced, sports historians agree that baseball was established in the Dominican Republic by the early 1890s. Today, baseball is as much a popular pastime in the Dominican Republic as it is in the United States. The Dominican Republic's league has six teams. Because it runs on a different schedule than American baseball, Dominican teams often recruit American players for their seasons.

One famous Dominican who played in the MLB is Sammy Sosa. He is known for hitting over 50 home runs for three seasons in a row. Other Dominican players have been named Rookie of the Year and inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, which are considered some of the top honors in baseball.
