\"\"Guantanamo.- Luis Miguel Romero Mansfarrol, nicknamed “Osh\u00edn,” a pitcher from Guantanamo and a member of the Leones de Caracas, returns to the Cuban National Baseball Team, this time to participate in the VI World Baseball Classic that will take place from March 3 to 17.<\/p>\n

According to the Cuban Baseball Federation, the right-handed pitcher, a native of the municipality of Manuel Tames, is part of a roster comprised of two catchers, seven infielders, five outfielders, and 16 pitchers.<\/p>\n

Luis Miguel was Cuba’s most outstanding pitcher in the V Classic, in which he is considered the “secret weapon” of the Cuban pitching team, having contributed to all three victories, two of which he personally won.<\/p>\n

He is one of the key figures in the resurgence and competitive comeback of the team known as TeamAsere. As a relief pitcher, the Guantanamo native selects his pitches well for each batter.<\/p>\n

Capable of touching 90mph, and throwing sliders are among his best attributes; but Oshin\u2019s success is driven by his control in baseball pitching, he exactly put the ball<\/em> where he<\/em> wants<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The star from Manuel Tames leads the tournament in strikeouts (13), wins (2), and games pitched (5). With a 2.08 ERA, he was also among the leaders in innings pitched with 8 2\/3.<\/p>\n

In the V World Baseball Classic, only 18 pitchers have fewer than one walk and one hit per inning, and one of them is Romero, who is one of the least hit-by-pitches with a .219 batting average.<\/p>\n

However, the Cuban pitcher who is least hit by opponents is Yariel Rodr\u00edguez from Camag\u00fcey, with a .200 average, and another Guant\u00e1namo native, Roenni El\u00edas, is also on that list (.229).<\/p>\n
