These strategic moves aim to bolster both the pitching staff and the defensive and offensive depth of the Aguilucho team ahead of the upcoming Dominican Professional Baseball League (LIDOM) tournament.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ryan Hendrix: Power for the bullpen<\/h2>\n\n<p>Ryan Hendrix, 31, joins the team with significant experience following his time in the Major Leagues with the Cincinnati Reds between 2021 and 2022. The pitcher has demonstrated his ability to dominate in Mexican baseball, standing out for his performance with the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos and the Algodoneros de Uni\u00f3n Laguna.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>3.32 effectiveness with 41 strikeouts during his time with the Tecolotes.<\/li><li>Ability to reach 98 miles per hour with his four-seam fastball.<\/li><li>A high-spin curveball that promises to be a key tool in high-pressure situations for the yellow bullpen.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carson Williams: Youth and versatility<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Santiago organization is also betting on young talent with the arrival of Carson Williams, a 23-year-old shortstop selected in the first round of the 2021 Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. Williams has seen action in the Major Leagues during the 2025 and 2026 seasons, establishing himself as an impact prospect.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Williams&#8217; arrival brings not only security to the infield, but also an offensive dynamic capable of combining occasional power with a notable ability to steal bases, after recording 23 stolen bases in his recent stint in Triple-A.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A team in constant evolution<\/h2>\n\n<p>These signings add to the work structure that the \u00c1guilas&#8217; management has been developing. The core of imports for the upcoming campaign already features figures such as J. C. Escarra, Raynel Delgado, Oscar Rayo, V\u00edctor Scott II, Dylan File, Carl Edwards Jr., and Mason McCoy. With this move, the Santiago team reaffirms its commitment to the fanbase to present a competitive roster from the very first day of action in winter baseball.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as strengthen their roster: Ryan Hendrix and Carson Williams join the team for the 2026-2027 season With their sights set on winning the title, the \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as have officially announced the addition of two new foreign reinforcements: right-handed relief pitcher Ryan Hendrix and shortstop Carson Williams.
