Time, which almost always takes its toll in sports, seems not to pass for the star Frederich Cepedasince this Tuesday installed on the throne of RBIs in Cuban baseball, another of the milestones that he has written in his successful and long career.
With 45 years on his back, the age at which most baseball players have already hung up their spikesthe experienced slugger from Sancti Spiritus signed his new feat. He did so in the present National Baseball Series (SNB) and against his scores, hitting a home run right at the start of the duel that the Gallos won against the Holguín Cubs with a score of 9-2, report the sports portal Hit.

The numbers compiled by statistician Arnelio Álvarez de la Uz, and reviewed by the media, indicate that with his first-inning blow, which found two teammates on the trails, Cepeda reached 1,513 trailers.
The figure is said quickly, but behind it lies the sacrifice during the 26 seasons that appear in his file, five more than those played by the legendary Santiago native Orestes Kindelán to push the hitherto unattainable 1,511 scores.
Seniority has not been an impediment for the Yayabero to continue leaving his mark on the island’s baseball, which currently has him as a reference in eight offensive departments, the publication highlights.
Furthermore, the longevity of his sporting career has allowed him to occupy the forefront of different ranks, including the leadership in hits, which he took over last April when he surpassed the 2,502 that had been set as the limit by Danel Castro from Las Tunas.
The event occurred during the celebration of the III Cuban Elite Baseball League (LEBC), which had Cepeda as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) defending the colors of the Tigres de Ciego de Ávila, ultimately champions, as reinforcement.
At the same time, the greatest number of doubles connected stands out in his service record, a privilege that he snatched from Michel Enríquez when he shot 438 during the year 2023, a season in which rose to the top of the list of most extra-base hits which also occupied Kindelán, then with 853.
