Major league baseball india

Major League Baseball India: Major League Baseball (MLB) is back in India, this time with an aim to see who amongst amateur cricketers is the best baseball hitter in the country through a show named ‘HotShots’.

To see who emerges as the best hitter, the league has roped in former India opener Shikhar Dhawan and USA’s Adam Jones, a five-time All-Star slugger who spent most of his MLB career with the Baltimore Orioles.

“We know that cricket is quite big and that same sort of swing is in baseball as well. But, at MLB, it was quite good and had a good time by seeing the players hitting the ball in long yards like 90-100 metres. It was quite fun and of course Adam taught me a few things as well about baseball. So it was overall a great experience,” Dhawan told IANS in an exclusive conversation.
