The Estrellas Orientales have taken a firm step on their path toward the upcoming season of the Dominican Professional Baseball League (LIDOM). With a total of 32 players, the green team launched its preparation minicamp at the Detroit Tigers’ academy facilities, located in Ram\u00f3n Santana.<\/p>\n\n
\u00c1ngel Ovalles, Vice President of Baseball Operations for the franchise, highlighted the remarkable willingness of the athletes to integrate weeks ahead of the start of the tournament, scheduled for next October 16.<\/p>\n\n
It’s incredible. Having 32 players at a minicamp on September 14th speaks well of the kind of commitment our players feel.<\/p>\u00c1ngel Ovalles, Vice President of Baseball Operations<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Outstanding talent on the field<\/h3>\n\n
The group that is already working under the coaching staff’s guidelines features a mix of veterans and key figures. Among the pitchers who were present from the first day are:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
- Oscar de la Cruz<\/li>\n
- Esmil Rogers<\/li>\n
- Jhan Mar\u00ed\u00f1ez<\/li>\n
- Gregory Santos<\/li>\n
- Neftal\u00ed F\u00e9liz<\/li>\n
- Domingo Tapia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
Regarding the group of position players, the offense features heavy hitters such as Raimel Tapia, Wil\u00edn Rosario, Jos\u00e9 Devers, and Sandber Pimentel.<\/p>\n\n
Raimel Tapia: Leadership from day one<\/h3>\n\n
The presence of Raimel Tapia has been highlighted as one of the most positive points of this start of activities. After a brilliant performance last season, where he led the league with 73 hits and recorded a .356 batting average, his quick integration underscores the team’s competitive focus.<\/p>\n\n
Having a player like Raimel Tapia from the first day of a minicamp is very important. We all know what Raimel can bring to the table as a player.<\/p>\u00c1ngel Ovalles<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nError en la traducci\u00f3n: 503 UNAVAILABLE. {‘error’: {‘code’: 503, ‘message’: ‘The service is currently unavailable.’, ‘status’: ‘UNAVAILABLE’}}\n\n

\n
- September 21:<\/strong> Start of training with the full squad.<\/li>\n
- September 28:<\/strong> Official transfer of operations to Tetelo Vargas Stadium.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
With this early deployment, the Estrellas Orientales demonstrate that their goal is to arrive in optimal condition for the start of the 2026-27 season, seeking to consolidate a competitive core from the preseason.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
