The Serie A1 2022 season will begin tomorrow, with Italian baseball attempting to define its own rebirth. While the long-awaited final is yet to come, the 2021 European Championships have provided a first signal, and Mike Piazza’s goal for this summer is Haarlem Week. In essence, this is the only event that will cause a break in the championship, but it will also be an opportunity to prove useful in terms of indications.
All against San Marino, which has been carrying the title of Italian Champion on his chest since the beginning of the year. And, given that Doriano Bindi managed to contact the powerful Jesus Ustariz on his return to Italy after his experiences in Nettuno and Rimini, the San Marino question could become even more important this year. Gabriel Lino is also a daring shooter, having been tasked with signaling Palumbo’s arrival on the crest. Tiago Da Silva represents the continuity line, while Albanian and Reginato both ended their stories with baseball.
Fortitudo UnipolSai of Bologna tries to regain possession of what it feels right: the hunt for the Scudetto. Claudio Scotti is no longer with the New York Mets in the minors, but Lele Frignani has significantly strengthened the Italian department, with Andretta, Bocchi, Deotto, and the recent block of Raul Rivero. The purchase of Lampe exteriors is significant because the goal is clear.
The Harlem Week baseball program. The Italy-Netherlands match is scheduled for 8 July.
Parma must be watched carefully, if only for the return of Aldo Koutsoyanopulos and the presence in the mountains of Carlos Contreras. On the other hand, Neptune changed everything he could in terms of human material, including the brothers Garbell, Drajer and Espnial inside, as well as Camilo and Lage on the mountain. Subsequently, Kodai Hamaya will arrive from Japan.
There are, however, a plethora of high-end suitors. Bbc Grosseto, for example, has three prominent players in the team: Noguera, Ambrosino and Lardi, but there is a lot to be said for a team that is not afraid to express its ambitions. Godo is celebrating his 31st season in Serie A by signing Cuban pitcher Giuseppe Grado, while Macerata will have a Korean pitcher, Sung Mi Choi. Instead, the other Grosseto landed, the one represented by Bsc Flores, a veteran of the Major League.
In the beginning there will be 30 teams, not 32 as expected. In fact, both Montefiscone and Patern gave up, albeit at different times. With one-way games and nine innings, four groups of eight became three groups of eight and one group of six. The top two teams in each group will advance to the second phase, where they will be divided into two groups and will play seven rounds on Friday, Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening, with home, second leg and intergirone. The semifinals follow, followed by the Italian Baseball Series, which is a best of seven format. The remaining 22 teams will compete in the poule of salvation, which will be played on a nine innings basis, for the chance to win the Italian Cup. Serie B will be used for the last two. San Marino-Torre Pedrera is the first stage tomorrow.
