About 80 kids attended the MLB Nanjing DC training campaign to experience the sport they love with the world's top players last week. Rick Dell, baseball development director of the MLB Asia-Pacific Region, wished them the most fun in baseball.

"Come on, run faster!" "Nice catch!" Managers continuously encouraged the teenagers to work harder on the field. In response, these youngsters tried their best to focus on every session from the 30-yard dash,  to passing, catching and hitting. None of these sessions was easy but no one was absent-minded. Instead, all kids focused on listening to what the managers said as well as how to do better.

Dell told Tencent Sports that the training campaign is a good opportunity for children to learn how to play baseball better. They will not only get professional training, but also hear feedback from true MLB players. Then Dell added that the most important thing is for them to have fun.

Former major league players Wesley Polk Chamberlain and Chuck McElroy participated in training programs for the youngsters. They were also joined by Chinese players Yi Jian and Xu Guiyuan who started their career at the MLB Development Center.

Chamberlain believed that the key to making progress is to find a good role model and stay patient. Children need players to urge them to keep working hard and must stay patient because every little piece of progress leads the way to final success.

"There's more to baseball than just hitting the ball and catching the ball and throwing the ball. You never know what's going to happen. I want to help the kids get the same opportunity I did and teach these kids how great this game is and how to play the game the right way," said Ray Chang, manager of the MLB China Baseball Development Center.

"Kids want to get better, they want to learn. They are like sponge, they just soak everything in," added Chang.
