The Cuban Yandy Díaz, known as “El Caki,” extended his impressive on-base streak to 22 consecutive games this Saturday and maintained his excellent performance throughout the month of June, establishing himself as one of the most consistent batters of the season in the Major Leagues.
With his performance against the Baltimore Orioles in the Tampa Bay Rays' victory (11-3), Díaz maintains a batting average of .402 during the referenced period, placing him among the best monthly performances by a Cuban in MLB history.
To put Díaz's achievement into perspective, the record for the highest average by a Cuban player in June still belongs to Yasiel Puig, who hit an astounding .436 in 2013, the month that sparked the memorable "Puigmania" in Los Angeles, according to what was stated on Facebook by journalist Francys Romero.
The villaclareño, who renewed with the Florida team, thus shows that he is going through one of the best moments of his career, exciting fans who dream of a season finale that matches his explosive June.
In the past month of March, the organization exercised its $12 million option for 2026 early and added a $13 million clause for 2027, which will be activated if "El Caki" reaches 500 at-bats in 2026; otherwise, the option will adjust to $10 million.
