Scouting notes on Cesar Prieto, Johnny Cueto and others from the LIDOM game at Citi Field
New York TimesA few weeks ago, I saw that the two teams in LIDOM with the most championships in the league’s history were coming to New York to play a three-game series for the second year in a row. Los Tigres de Licey has two top 100-ish prospects on their roster in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Jordan Lawlar and the Toronto Blue Jays’ Orelvis Martinez, so this seemed like a no-brainer for me, since it’s just a two-hour drive from my house to the city. And it was fun; I had never been to a LIDOM game before, but the league’s atmosphere is legendary, and Citi Field was alive with a reported 30,000+ fans, and approximately 50,000 vuvuzelas. 😎#LosBicampeones 💙👑 pic.twitter.com/PupPaAfnS8 — Tigres del Licey November 10, 2024 Las Cibaeñas de Águilas started a familiar name in Johnny Cueto, who threw two scoreless innings and struck out three, working 89-91 mph with a lot of fade and tail to his changeup. The rest of the hitters were more “remember some guys” than prospects or even good minor-league free agents; of the guys looking for jobs, Francisco Mejía did have the hardest-hit ball of the game, a 101.5 mph groundball … that went for a double play.
