The Association of Sports Chroniclers of Santo Domingo (ACD) successfully kicked off the 2026-2027 season of its iconic “Star Baseball Player of the Week” awards. In an event marked by camaraderie, pitcher Adonis Medina, of the Tigres del Licey, and outfielder Harold Ram\u00edrez, of the Estrellas Orientales, were honored as the most outstanding players following the start of the winter baseball tournament.<\/p>\n\n
The ceremony, held at S\u00faper Bets, featured the participation of the specialized press, who through their votes chose the protagonists of this first distinction. Medina took the recognition in pitching by totaling 22 votes, while Ram\u00edrez led among position players with 11 votes.<\/p>\n\n
Adonis Medina shined in his start against the Leones del Escogido on October 16th. The right-hander completed five innings of mound work, striking out nine opponents and being a key piece in the Tigres’ 12-2 victory. Meanwhile, outfielder Harold Ram\u00edrez demonstrated an immediate offensive impact with the Estrellas Orientales, recording a .467 batting average. In just three games, the slugger accumulated seven hits, including a home run, three RBIs, and four runs scored.<\/p>\n\n
The ACD took the opportunity to honor two fundamental figures of baseball and communication: former Major League pitcher Carlos P\u00e9rez and the prominent journalist Williams Aish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
This recognition for Aish, a sports editor, is part of a new initiative by the ACD that seeks to highlight the work of sports editors from the main Dominican media outlets, acknowledging their contribution to strengthening sports journalism in the country.<\/p>\n\n
A tradition that evolves<\/h2>\n\n
The “Star Ballplayer of the Week” award, which dates back to 1957, remains under the direction of the ACD, presided over by Am\u00e9rico Celado, with the coordination of Franklin N\u00fa\u00f1ez and Frank de la Cruz. According to Celado, the goal is to restore the splendor to this historic award, consolidating a meeting space between the protagonists of the game and the communicators.<\/p>\n\n
