Luis Baez is raising capital by offering investors a share in his future professional baseball earnings over a 25-year period. This funding model is designed to help support Baez as he navigates the challenges of the minor leagues, where financial resources are limited and developmental demands are high. Investors who participate in this offering will receive annual payouts tied to Baez’s pre-tax on-field earnings at the Major League level and other top professional baseball leagues. The offering allows fans and backers to contribute directly to his journey while aligning their returns with his career success.

The capital raised will be used to alleviate financial pressures Baez faces as he trains, travels, and competes in the minor leagues, ensuring he can fully focus on reaching and maintaining a role in Major League Baseball. Investors are not purchasing stock in the parent company but instead acquiring rights to a portion of Baez’s future earnings under clearly defined terms. The model creates a unique alignment between the athlete and his supporters, allowing them to participate in the upside of a potentially lucrative sports career. This fundraising approach gives fans a direct financial stake in a player’s success while supporting their professional development.
