Cuban pitcher Jonathan Carbó, 26, arrived in the Dominican Republic with the intention of signing in the Major Leagues after having been expelled in recent days from the Italian league team in which he was contracted.
The news of the arrival in the Dominican Republic was announced on social networks by sports journalist Francys Romero, who noted that Carbó "has the potential to achieve a signature" and added that he is an "opener with a fastball that stays at 91 -94MPH".
"He was a member of the Cuba team in multiple events including the U-23 World Cup (2021) and the World Baseball Classic pre-selection. In his last National Series he posted 5-5, 2.59 ERA, 60 SO in 90.1 IP," Romero said.
In Cuba Carbó participated in nine National Series, with 33 successes and 41 defeats, as detailed Swing Completo.
The young man, who before arriving in the Dominican Republic He was contracted by the Italian team BBC Grosseto, he was expelled by that club last week after committing serious breaches of discipline.
"Jonathan Carbó has behaved inappropriately with the club and with his teammates and we could only expel him", reported the team's sporting director, Filippo Olivelli, who did not offer other details about the incidents that led to such a decision.
The pitcher's second experience in Grosseto - a native of the Isle of Youth - only lasted two days.
Born in November 1997, Carbó was first signed by BBc Grosseto Spirulina Becagli in the winter of 2022 to play for the shield poule, which ended with fourth place for Jairo Ramos Gizzi's team.
The exodus of ballplayers continues unstoppable in all categories.
In recent months, Leandro Guerra, Yandro Guerra, Jorge Luis Manzolo, Luis Enrique Gurriel and Yordan Rodríguez Peña, among others, left the country.
