Severino González is ready to participate in the Baseball United exhibition games in Dubai.
These days, Panamanian Severino González is having a great experience, getting to know the spectacular city of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, while doing what he loves most, playing baseball.
The right-hander from Veraguas will be participating in the exhibition games to warm up the atmosphere for the upcoming Baseball United, at the Dubai International stadium.
The All-Star Showcase will run from tomorrow to November 25 and will be broadcast in 127 countries and will reach almost 200 million homes.
González said that it will open this Saturday. The players have been divided into two teams, theirs being the East dressed in gray and the West wearing a red uniform.
He does not know how many innings he will work, the truth is that he will be in that country for a week, so he has dedicated himself to training, spending time with his teammates and walking around. Yesterday he was visiting The Dubai Fountain, which is the largest choreographed water, music and light show in the world.
Baseball United is the next professional baseball league in the Middle East and South Asia. It plans to start playing in Dubai in 2024, with four teams representing cities in India, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.
The teams will be present: Mumbai Cobras (India), Karachi Monarchs (Pakistan), Dubai Wolves (Dubai) and Abu Dhabi Falcons (Dubai), reinforced with high-quality players and experience in the Major Leagues. Robinson Canó, Pablo Sandoval, Didi Gregorious, Andrelton Simmons and Steven Moya.
In the case of Panama: Severino Gónzalez was chosen yesterday in the last Draft by the Falcons, a team with that in Abu Dhabi; he was the 36th pick of the fifth round. While Burgos Jr was selected by the Mumbai Cobras, India’s first professional team.
Burgos Jr was the 54th pick in the seventh round.
Mariano Rivera is one of the investors in that project.
