Jeremy Guthrie pitched in his last Major League game last April with the Nationals, but his love of baseball is still evident in the work he has done since he officially announced his retirement. Guthrie traveled last week to Abuja, Nigeria to participate in the Baseball Tomorrow Academy youth baseball camp, hosted by the U.S. Embassy.
According to Guthrie, the goal is “to work with these kids, give them something that they can work on, inspire them by answering their questions, shaking their hands and showing them techniques, and inviting them to go on television and watch the things we are talking about, then, they can share it, and that’s how the game can grow in Nigeria.
