Cuban catcher Maikel Miñoso, 16, signed an official contract with the Canadian professional team Toronto Blue Jays, confirmed the sports journalist Frances Romero.
According to Romero, the young Cuban baseball player signed his signature with the Canadian Major League Baseball (MLB) team on Monday, after several organizations of this type showed interest in him because of his youth and tools.
The Cuban right-handed batter trained for more than three years at the Yuan Pino Academy in the Dominican Republic, where he demonstrated power, contact and speed. In addition to having a highly rated defense among Major League scouts.
With this signature, Romero pointed out, there are already 14 Cubans who have formalized contracts with MLB organizations since the international signing period will begin this Saturday, January 15.
Miñoso, was born in Matanzas, and has, according to the aforementioned sports journalist, a quite compact swing with which he can take balls out of the field, as well as frequently produce towards the opposite band.
“The defense has been measured shots in 1.84 to the 2nd base in addition to excellent footwork and catching pitches” also highlights Romero.
The Toronto Blue Jays are a Canadian professional baseball team based in Toronto, Ontario, who compete in the East Division of the American League of Major League Baseball.
