After an absence of four years, Robinson Canó could play in Dominican winter baseball alongside the Estrellas Orientales. The second baseman was registered on the team’s weekly roster
The Eastern Stars have taken the step to register Robinson Cano on his weekly roster. This indicates that the second baseman could make his debut in any of the four regular series games remaining for the team or in the semi-final series, in the event that the Orientals reach one of the two remaining qualifying spots.
In the case of the debut of Robinson Cano for the season, this would mark his return to Dominican winter baseball after a four-year absence. The middleman last played with the Stars during a single game in the 2016-2017 season of the regular series.
During its passage LIDOM, Cannon he has played 182 games (regular series and post season) in which he has exhausted 613 official at-bats. He has thrown 174 hits, bringing his batting average to .284. Its on-base percentage (OBP) is .352 and its slugging percentage (SLG) is .426, giving an OPS of .778. He hit nine home runs, drove in 87 rounds and scored 80 runs. He batted out in 70 at bats and has walked 57 so far.
Remember that Robinson Cano was suspended for the 2021 season from the Major leagues after violating substance use protocol for the performance of MLB for the second time in his career. However, it is important to note that despite the existing similarities between the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM) and Major leagues This suspension does not apply in Dominican winter baseball, so you can participate without hindrance.
The rumor that Cannon would join the eastern set that emerged late last week, when it was reported by Enrique Rojas from ESPN that the team was about to receive the player’s recording New York Mets. The recording of the player in the afternoon of this Monday, prior to the meeting between Tigres del Licey and Eastern Stars, confirm this information.
ESPN Digital contacted the baseball-processing office of the Eastern Stars twice, to obtain additional information about the movement, but the same one indicated that it has no comment at the moment.
