I wonder what steps he will have to take before he is eligible for MLB since he defected in the US.. Certainly he won’t have to establish residency in another country.. At his age will MLB still require him to wait until next May to register?

Now I’m far from a scout, but I was impressed with this guy when I saw him in the Cuban playoffs (down there on vaca). He was patient, showed power the other way and hit everything very hard…for one game at least. The Matanzas fans loved him. I get it that the talent level isn’t the same as the bigs, but this guy stood out to me. I left the game thinking I need to remember this guy’s name. Looking forward to see how that translates.
