Cuban prospect Maikel Yordan Molina left Cuba in recent days and will try to sign with a Major League organization seeking professionalism, a source assured CyberCuba.
Molina, 18 years old, was on the list of 34 players that the Cuban Baseball Federation (FCB) sent to Major League Baseball (MLB) in March 2019.
Born in Amancio Rodríguez, province of Las Tunas, he is an outfielder with a lot of speed and who could generate a lot of interest among MLB scouts.
Extremely valuable conditions for talent evaluators. He is 6.3 and weighs 190 pounds. He hit .361 in the 2018 National Youth Championship (39 hits in 108 times at bat), 7 doubles, 2 triples, 23 runs scored and .481 on base. From there he joined the Cuba team in the Youth Pan American Team along with Osmani Urrutia Jr., also from Las Tunas.
Molina will go through the free agency process, and once he is eligible to sign in the Dominican Republic where he is located, he will most likely have several offers to start his baseball career in the United States.
Until today, 11 of the players who were on the FCB to MLB list left the Island trying to change the future of their career and obtain million-dollar contracts.
