Il Bsc Grosseto 1952 it is certainly the first team from the next Serie A to enter the winter market, with an excellent prospective purchase and the unexpected loss of one of the flags that brought the Maremma club to the top in recent years.
The said Roberto Piccioli he signed Miguel Eduardo Lopeza Venezuelan receiver, born in 2003, with a French passport. The young catcher was evaluated by the manager for a few days Enrico Vecchi and his staff, who subjected him to an audition at the Simone Scarpelli stadium in via Orcagna.
«We are happy – comments sporting director Roberto Piccioli – to begin our signing campaign with a talented twenty-one year old like Lopez. We want to set up a competitive roster, also enhancing the youth sector and following the manager’s needs. We will make careful choices, in line with the economic possibilities of the club, but we will try to bring excellent players to Maremma, to remain at the top of Serie A.”
Miguel Eduardo Lopez in 2024, before choosing BSC last season, played for Kimikawa in the Japanese Independent League, finishing with a batting average of 261 (36 out of 138, with one home run and 13 pbc). In 2023, however, he played in France with the Rochelle shirt, showing off with an average of 280 (26 out of 9, 13pbc).
However, BSC 1952 lost its captain Niccolo Cinelliborn in 2002, who decided to separate with the company in via Orcagna, at the end of a wonderful journey for both parties. Cinelli, catcher-outfielder, is the best player to come out of the thriving academy of the Tuscan club, thanks to the power of his bat and his ability to lead his teammates from behind the home plate.
Niccolò Cinelli, Italian at the Under 23 European Championships held in Austria in 2023, has been included in the group of probable Olympic champions, called “Club Italia LA28”. Cinelli played a total of 147 matches in the red and white, of which 101 in the top series, with a lifetime batting average of 268, with a personal best of 329 in 2022, while in 2024 he closed on 195, with the mitigating circumstance that before arrival Di Maggi often received three matches per weekend and this certainly influenced his offensive performance. The numbers in Serie A also show 73 hits, 3 home runs and 39 runs batted in. The batting average in the two Serie B tournaments was 372.
«We want to thank Niccolò Cinelli – says the president of Bsc 1952, Antonio Pugliese – for these years full of successes in which he wore the red and white shirt. We can only wish him the best, both sportingly and humanly, for his future career. Having said that, I would like to point out that the company will continue to work to set up a competitive roster, in line with safeguarding the budgets and enhancing the youth sector.”
The former BSC captain has received a number of offers from other top-flight teams and is evaluating the best one.
