With the possible duel Freddy Asiel Álvarez against Yadián Martínez and the hope that the playoffs will attract an audience to the stadiums, the postseason of the Elite Cuban Baseball League (LEBC) begins this Wednesday, whose greatest incentive for the champion will be to represent Cuba in the next Gran Caracas 2023 Caribbean Series.
The Central and Port neighbors, occupants of positions two and three in the order of the regular phase, will start the semifinal at the Victoria de Girón, where Freddy Asiel will seek his 120th success in national series.
In dialogue with the mentors of both teams, it became known that Pavel Hernández will work in the second match for the dockers of Michael González, while Armando Ferrer has no security in the order of his rotation, but he said that Dariel Góngora, Yamichel Pérez and Alain Sánchez are ready for the openings, and even to solve complex situations at any time.
Ferrer confirmed the inclusion of Ariel Martínez and Erisbel Arruebarrena in the roster for the playoffs, while the left-handed pitcher Yoanni Yera must do so in the final, if the team advances to the title discussion.
The visitors finished the preliminary phase with the best streak in the league (8-2) and among their main weapons are the inspiration and the adjustments made in the last third of the calendar, changes that ensured their location in the third rung when almost everyone was betting that they would not qualify.
In the opinion of this editor, the Central squad has more tools to win the dual meet, which should not conclude in less than six games.
