After the resignation of the teams of Taiwan and Australia to compete in the playoffs for the sixth and last place in baseball for the games in Tokyo 2021, Venezuela will only have two rivals: the Netherlands and the Dominican Republic.
The knockout tournament will be played from June 22 to 26, at the Hermanos Serdán stadium, in Puebla, Mexico.
The selection directed by José Alguacil performed an acceptable role in the pre-Olympic that ended in Florida parks last weekend. He finished undefeated in his group by dispatching the teams of Cuba (6-5), Colombia (3-2) and Canada (5-0), exhibiting great offensive depth and with some weaknesses in the bullpen, which were evidenced in the super round when falling before the Quisqueyanos (14-4) and against the United States (4-2).
The team that manages the structuring of the selection, which is headed by Luis Blasini, must be analyzing the recommendations of the coaching staff to strengthen the pitching in the face of Mexico’s commitment, in order to add the talent that is capable of reaching the depth that allow to face with sufficient solvency the fearsome sluggers of the Quisqueyan team.
