Raynel Delgado: No Restrictions with the Cibaeñas Eagles

Cuban infielder Raynel Delgado, a key player in the scheme of the Águilas Cibaeñas, has cleared up any doubts about his permanence in the team. Delgado affirmed that he has no time restrictions imposed by his organization to play in the current season of the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM).

I have no limitations from my organization regarding how long I will stay with the Eagles. I also have no instructions or restrictions on how I play.

At 25 years old, Delgado has proven to be a complete player. His defensive versatility allows him to play in multiple positions in the infield, and his ability as a switch hitter adds value to the team. Delgado comes from a standout season in Triple A, where he was recognized as Most Valuable Player (MVP). His numbers include a .281 average, 116 hits, 53 RBIs, and 40 stolen bases in 48 attempts. The player has expressed his adaptation to the team’s playing style, highlighting the importance of dynamics, good base running, and decision-making in defense.

From the beginning I saw that the idea of the organization is to have a dynamic team, that can run, base themselves and make good decisions with the ball in defense. I think that all of that is part of the game that I play, and that’s why I think I fit in well with the team.

Originally selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 2018 draft, Delgado was transferred to the Milwaukee Brewers, who assigned him to their affiliate Nashville Sounds (Triple A). In his first four games with the Eagles, Delgado has impressed with an offensive line of .467/.467/.600, for an OPS of 1.067, demonstrating his rapid adaptation to Dominican baseball. Delgado emphasizes the importance of consistency in the game, acknowledging the inherent ups and downs of baseball. His goal is to maintain a consistent performance and contribute to the team’s success.

Maintaining consistency is the goal. This game is very difficult and there are always many ups and downs. I think that maintaining consistency and that everyone does their part to help the team win will make the difference.
