*-denotes MLB experience
Several players on this team have MLB experience, while several others have played in minor-league baseball for a few seasons. With the most experience, Wilson Ramos will be looking to lead Venezuela’s offense and behind the hot-hitting of Renato Nunez and Harold Castro, who earned Player of the Month Awards in LVBP.
The Japan Breeze have arrived in Venezuela, where they are currently practicing at several facilities around Venezuela to gear up for the action this upcoming Tuesday. It truly is remarkable to see how the LVBP continues to demonstrate the commitment to the growth of baseball, helping to celebrate the passion of uniting countries from different continents.
