ProPublica is inviting readers with connections to Dominican baseball to share tips via WhatsApp. The move supports ongoing investigative work into the sport's talent pipeline and related issues in the Dominican Republic.
ProPublica has launched a WhatsApp tip line to gather information on Dominican baseball. The newsroom wants to hear from players, coaches, agents, and families with direct knowledge of how young talent is scouted, signed, and developed. The goal is to examine practices that affect athletes and their communities.
Baseball remains a major economic pathway in the Dominican Republic, yet reports have long highlighted concerns over signing bonuses, education access, and agent conduct. By opening direct contact, ProPublica aims to collect firsthand accounts that may not surface through official channels. Such stories often reveal broader patterns in international sports recruitment.
Interested sources can text the number listed in the original ProPublica post. All tips will be handled confidentially, consistent with the organization's track record of public-interest reporting. The initiative reflects a growing effort to include voices from the region in stories that shape global baseball.
