Long Island Tigers Players Continue to be Selected to  Participate in MLB EDI Program.  

Our Players, if selected, get a chance to improve their position with Former MLB players as their instructors at Historic Dodgertown (Vero Beach, FL). The reason why LI (Flushing) Tigers Players are selected is because to the long history and tradition the organization has with assisting and mentoring ball players throughout the New York Metro Area.  With the long relationship with the MLBPA and MLB, LI Tigers have an opportunity to experience Professional Instruction with it's current staff as well as with Current and Former MLB Players and Coaches.  Since 1969, LI Tigers Alumni have been drafted by MLB Teams and/or have been recipients of collegiate scholarships or awards.
