SANTO DOMINGO.- The Baseball Operations management of the Leones del Escogido, the national two-time champion team, has confirmed the continuity of two key players for the upcoming season: right-handed reliever H\u00e9ctor Neris and outfielder Jimmy Paredes.<\/p>\n
Neris, 36 years old, was a fundamental element in obtaining the number 18 crown for the “melenudos” in the 2025-26 campaign. His performance on the mound was notable, accumulating 14.0 innings in total, with 12 of them in the postseason, and recording an ERA of 0.64, a WHIP of 1.07, and 13 strikeouts. In the playoffs, the opposition barely hit .135 against him.<\/p>\n
The pitcher, originally from Villa Altagracia and with a 12-year career in the Major Leagues, has a total of 114.2 innings pitched in his career in Dominican winter baseball, with an earned run average of 2.55, a WHIP of 1.21, and 98 strikeouts.<\/p>\n
For his part, Paredes, 37 years old, had an outstanding participation in the 2026 Caribbean Series in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he averaged .500 in the preliminary round, including a home run and a run batted in.<\/p>\n
The scarlet captain, a native of Santo Domingo, completed his eleventh season with the Lions and his sixteenth in the Dominican Baseball League (Lidom). For his career in regular series, Paredes has a batting average of .236, with 120 RBIs, 113 runs scored, 12 home runs and 42 doubles in 319 games.<\/p>\n
With the renewal of Neris and Paredes, the Leones del Escogido ensure the continuity of a solid base of players, joining outfielders Junior Lake, S\u00f3crates Brito and Jos\u00e9 Marmolejos, shortstop Erik Gonz\u00e1lez and reliever Alexander Colom\u00e9, who have also renewed with the club.<\/p>\n
Each of the players mentioned will be available for the mutual option season, granting the Lions the right of reservation for the 2027-28 tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
