To honor the legacy of Yordano Ventura, the Royals have announced the ACE 30 Memorial Fund has been established through Royals Charities. Funds will support youth baseball projects in his native country of the Dominican Republic.
Yordano maintained a strong connection to the Dominican Republic, and the community in his hometown of Las Terrenas. During the offseason, he returned to live in the area while working out at the Royals Dominican Academy located in Guerra, Santo Domingo.
Giving kids the opportunity to play baseball was always important to Yordano. He stayed connected to Liga Kelly, the local baseball program he grew up playing with in Las Terrenas.
