By Franco Miguel Alvariño

Yandy Diaz needed to play 263 challenges and visit the batting rectangle 897 times to reach 100 RBIs in Major League Baseball (MLB).

On the afternoon of this Wednesday, June 16, the Tampa Bay Rays met the Chicagos White Sox as visitors at “Guaranteed Rate Field.” In that duel, Cuban Yandy Díaz started as third baseman and fifth man in the Florida team’s lineup.

The Villa Clara made his third appearance of the match in the top of the sixth inning. After getting a walk and failing on one occasion, he faced Lucas Giolito, when his team trailed by five runs.

A couple of days ago that the Creole had arrived at 99 trailers, it seems little, but it has been several years fighting to stay at the highest level. Baseball sometimes rewards that dedication as it did Diaz. The gift couldn’t be better. Yandy disappeared the ball into left field and his numbers were automatically rounded.

It was many years of waiting, achieving these feats in MLB is not easy. The rival pitcher also complicated the situation. First, he led him to the difficult 2-2 d count, and then he appealed to a ball change that tends to dominate batters, only this time he was left in a comfortable zone for the utility Tampa Bay will accelerate his wrists and send “Doña Blanca” up to 364 feet down left field.

We said that it was not an easy mark to reach, you need, above all, a lot of perseverance and daily play. This is confirmed by Baseball Reference, because in its latest updates, in which the “Negro Leagues” are recognized as MLB, only 75 Cubans have managed to reach the aforementioned figure.

On the other hand, the connection meant his second full-return smash in 2021, and his 19th as a major league. In addition, this season accumulates 55 hits in 212 official at-bats, with 48 produced runs, valid for 26 runs scored, 24 RBIs and two home runs. While their offensive frequencies are .259 / .321 / .395.

At the time of writing, Yandy Diaz drove in Tampa’s sixth race in the game and reached 101 RBIs. The statistics shown in the news include the performance of the Cuban until the ninth inning of the game, which was tied at seven runs.

Now enjoy Yandy Diaz’s home run.
