Matt Hall was named the winner of the 2011 Erik Walker Community Champion Award. The award 

annually recognizes one Rays minor league player who exemplifies teamwork, sportsmanship and 

community involvement, attributes exhibited by Rays minor league pitcher Erik Walker, who died 

tragically in October 2006 in a canoeing accident. 

Hall, who appeared in 94 games for Charlotte and hit .237 with four home runs and 35 RBI, was 

recognized with a commemorative trophy and a $2,500 award given to the charity of his choice. 

The 24-year-old Phoenix, Ariz., native was selected by the Rays in the 10th round of the 2008 

June Draft out of Auburn University. 

Walker was drafted by the Rays in June 2006 and had just completed his first professional 

season with the Hudson Valley Renegades in the New York-Penn League when his life was 

cut short on Oct 26, 2006, just 11 days after his 23rd birthday. Each of the Rays minor league 

affiliates nominates a candidate for the award. Nominees embody the qualities of Erik, recognized 

as someone who was a great teammate, a caring person and who enriched the lives of people in 

need and inspired others to do the same.

would share Campo Las Palmas in the Dominican 

Republic, long considered the gold standard for 

Dominican facilities. Eddy Toledo was hired from 

the New York Mets organization to oversee the 

Rays Dominican operations. Campo Las Palmas 

was home to the Rays baseball academy and a 

summer league team until early 2009 when the 

organization inaugurated their new academy 

located on property adjacent to Dodgers. The 

complex has two full diamonds and a half field, 

clubhouse, gym, covered batting cages, dining 

area and living facilities, which can accommodate 

up to 96 players. 

In 2007, the Rays celebrated the opening of 

their baseball academy—dedicated to Andres 

Reiner—and located on the grounds of the Pirelli 

tire factory in Guacara, Venezuela, one hundred 

miles west of Caracas. In addition to baseball 

fields and existing amenities, the newly renovated 

facility now includes new dormitory rooms and 

offices, as well as an expanded player lounge. 

The academy can now accommodate 56 players. 

Ronnie Blanco, former general manager of the 

Magallanes baseball club in the Venezuelan professional 

league, oversees the Rays Venezuelan 

baseball operations. In 2007, Tampa Bay players 

joined together with Cincinnati Reds prospects 

to form a co-op team in the Venezuelan Summer 

League (VSL). In 2008 the Rays had a complete 

team and have since won two of the last three VSL 

championships (2009 and 2011). 

The Rays continue to grow their scouting programs 

in Colombia—directed by Manny Esquivia 

and based in Cartagena—and in Mexico headed 

by Eddie Diaz. The Rays have now signed three 

players from Mexico since 2010: Armando Araiza, 

Oscar Armenta and Rafael Cordoba. In 2012 the 

Rays added Chairon Isenia to lead their scouting 

efforts in Curacao and Aruba. Carlos Rodriguez is 

also heavily involved in the Rays efforts in Latin 

America, splitting his time between pro and international 

scouting. 

Tampa Bay and the city of Marília, Brazil, located 

230 miles northwest of São Paulo, have built 

a partnership that will include construction of a 

training facility beginning in the summer of 2012. 

It will be the first baseball academy run by a major 

league organization in Brazil. The academy will be 

constructed by the city of Marília with additional 

funding from the national government, and will 

consist of two full playing fields, two diamonds for 

youth teams and dormitories, which will accommodate 

up to 40 players. Adriano de Souza, who 

was hired in 2008 to scout Brazil for the Rays, will 

coordinate the academy. In addition to scouting 

Brazil for prospects, the Rays will also introduce 

baseball to groups between 7 and 14 years of age 

in the Marília area. In 2009 the Rays signed their 

first Brazilian player, infielder Leonardo Reginatto. 

The Rays have also expanded scouting efforts 

in the Pacific Rim, Europe and Australia. 

Tim Ireland begins his fourth year as Pacific Rim 

scouting coordinator. Tateki “Bori” Uchibori, who 

served as an interpreter for former Tampa Bay 

infielder Akinori Iwamura, scouts for the Rays in 

Japan and Korea, while Keith Hsu covers Taiwan. 

John Gilmore enters his fourth year in charge 

of Europe and Australia. In 2010 the Rays signed 

16-year-old left-handed pitcher Stepan Havlicek, 

a member of the Czech Junior National Team, to 

a free agent minor league contract. Havlicek, the 

first player signed by the Rays out of the Czech 

Republic, played last summer in the Gulf Coast 

League. Also in 2010 Tampa Bay signed Darryl 

George, an 18-year-old infielder from Australia 

who played his first professional season in 2011. 

In 2011 the Rays continued a program to introduce 

U.S.-born minor league players to the organization’s 

Latin American operations. Six players selected 

in the 2011 June Draft—Jeff Ames, Jake Faria, 

Jake Hager, James Harris, Brandon Martin and 

Blake Snell—spent a week at the Rays Dominican 

academy getting a firsthand look at the country 

that produces so much major league talent.

since eliTe aThleTes are saddled with an overwhelming demand to succeed, the 

Rays developed the Mental Skills Training Program (MSTP), which addresses the 

mental side of the game. The MSTP operates in conjunction with all other aspects of 

the Rays Player Development program. Built upon the belief that what an athlete is 

thinking will influence his performance, the MSTP’s goal is to develop a consistent, 

ideal mindset for performance and provide training in coping and mastery strategies 

on both an individual and team basis. 

When a player’s performance levels are not peaking, the mental skills training he 

receives provides him with a tool, something to lean on in tough times. Exercises conducted 

by the MSTP focus on concentration, awareness and communication skills. 

It is with these exercises that a player’s preparation, execution and evaluation—both 

physical and mental—help lead to streamlined thought processes and consistent performance 

at the highest level. 

Greg Riddoch, the Rays third base coach from 1998-99 and a former manager of 

the San Diego Padres (1990-92), is in his first season with the Rays in a mental skills 

role. Riddoch trains the Rays, Triple-A Durham and Double-A Montgomery. Lance 

Green, in his third year with the Rays and an Associate Clinical Professor of Wellness 

and Human Performance at Tulane, tutors Class-A Charlotte, Class-A Bowling Green, 

Short-A Hudson Valley, Rookie-level Princeton and the Gulf Coast League Rays.

a key componenT of Developing successful baseball players is providing each 

individual with a web of support and education as he transitions into adulthood. The 

Rays believe that developing quality persons who are also professional athletes goes 

a long way in producing quality major league players. The Rays offer their players and 

staff the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which is designed to provide support, 

education, consultation and information throughout all areas of the Rays Baseball 

Operations department, both in the United States and abroad in Latin America. 

Spearheading the EAP’s stateside efforts is Vince Lodato, who has been integral 

to the program’s continued success since he began working with the Rays in 2001. 

Francisco Ruiz, who joined the Rays in 2007, works in conjunction with Lodato. Ruiz’s 

focus is in Latin America, where he provides support, along with assistance in the assimilation 

of Latin American players into American culture. 

Lodato and Ruiz have led the EAP with a proactive approach. Education and skills 

development are viewed as equally critical to a player’s growth, with an understanding 

in place that each player’s needs are different at different points in their journeys. 

The program reaches all levels of the organization, from in-season rookie orientation, 

instructional leagues and extended spring training to major league and minor league 

spring training. 

During education sessions players are instructed on topics such as the Rays Player 

Code of Conduct, drug abuse, performance enhancing substances and stimulants. 

In addition, they cover the subjects of leadership, teamwork and developing one’s 

career both on and off the field.
