The talented Cuban infielder César Prieto had an excellent debut on Wednesday night in the winter baseball season in the Dominican Republic, wearing the Águilas Cibaeñas uniform.
Prieto, who is part of the St. Louis Cardinals organization, went 4 for 2, with a double and an RBI, showcasing his skills anchored at home plate and affirming himself as a key reinforcement for his team.
According to journalist Francys Romero on the social network Facebook, the 25-year-old player should take advantage of the opportunities presented by playing in winter to aim for Major League Baseball in 2025.
On the social network X, the Eagles highlighted the performance of the Caribbean player.
Most experts see their participation in the tournament as a golden opportunity to raise their international profile and pave the way for a career in professional baseball.
It is worth noting that in 2021, as soon as he arrived in the United States, Prieto left the Cuban national team that competed in the Baseball Pre-Olympic Tournament held in Florida from May 31 to June 5.
At that time, the player from Cienfuegos was one of the best talents still on the island, but he decided to showcase his skills in search of a professional contract, which he secured months later with the Baltimore Orioles, a team that then sent him to the Cardinals.
