The hairy cave will continue to be flooded with “Coffee” and with “sugar” to spice up the fans, and it is that the board of directors of the monarchs of the Mexican Baseball League (LMB), Leones de Yucatán, confirmed this day that the sensational outfielder Venezuelan, José “Cafecito” Martínez, will return to the jungle for the 2023 season to make the “Kukulcán” Park vibrate again.
The kings of the jungle continue to be very active this start of the year, demonstrating once again that they are putting together a team of the highest level to go in search of the first two-time championship in their history.
For this reason, they have now confirmed the phenomenal ranger, with extensive experience in the Major Leagues, LMB and winter ball.
The native of La Guaira, Venezuela, began his time in baseball in the United States, signing with the Chicago White Sox, listed as one of the best outfielders in the organization by Baseball America between 2009 and 2012.
The “Matatán” had a dream first season with the Lions and in the regular calendar he registered .346 percentage, with 46 hits, two home runs and 23 RBIs.
However, it was at “zero hour”, in the playoffs, where “Cafecito” recorded his quality, worth and experience, exploding his carbine and becoming a fundamental piece of the Yucatecan title.
At the big party, the slugger sounded tasty to Mrs. Blanca, with a 419 average, 44 hits, five home runs and 30 RBIs.
To highlight, the “bombshots” that defined the triumph of the long-haired on different occasions, such as the last game against Pericos de Puebla, with a three-run shot; the sensational sixth game of the South Championship Series, against the Red Devils of Mexico, to send the commitment to the maximum; in addition to his tremendous performance in the seventh and final clash of the Serie del Rey, by producing five of the six feline scores, including another homer with two teammates on board.
In his professional career, Martínez has five seasons in the Majors, defending the flannel of the St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays, and Chicago Cubs.
This winter, the jungle outfielder continues to burn and is breaking the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League, with the Tigres de Aragua, where he managed to lead the entire circuit in hits with 73 and runner-up in batting percentage with .390.
With this confirmation, the charismatic “Cafecito” joins pitcher Tyler Alexander and Dominican infielder Christian Adames as part of the foreign legion that the kings of Mexican baseball will present in 2023.
