MIAMI, United States. — Cuban baseball players Héctor Miguel Ponce, Javier Camero and Edwin Vassell recently arrived in the United States, reported today the writer and journalist specializing in baseball Francys Romero.
In the case of Ponce, the reporter points out that the relief pitcher for Industriales arrived in the US a few weeks ago.
“Ponce had pitched in Italy and in various championships in Cuba with the Industriales. In 2016 he left the island looking for a professional firm, but after a few months he returned. He continued to pitch with the Industriales and on the Italian circuit. Ponce had very outstanding seasons in Cuba,” Romero said.
The information expands that between 2021 and 2022 Héctor Ponce “was in Italian baseball with teams like Cagliari and Brescia” and that “in that same 2022 he threw 127.2 innings and struck out 138 batters.”

“Camero intervened in two matches of the current Elite League with Centrales. After that he undertook his way to the United States. He is 32 years old and in his last three National Series he hit more than .300 with the Cocodrilos de Matanzas, ”says the report.
Three outstanding baseball players who saw action during several seasons in Cuba arrived in the United States in recent days.
