Taking over from Gabriel Lino is not easy for anyone. Especially the 2022 version of Lino, the MVP of the Scudetto finals for San Marino, the devastating one in the box and deadly behind the plate with a 100% steal rate. When they realized on Titan that Lino would never return, they played it safe, choosing the experience of Luis Alvarez.
The Venezuelan catcher is an old acquaintance of the Italian hit and run game: he played on our diamonds for the first time in 2015 in Padua where he played alongside Quevedo, who he will meet again in San Marino. Still in Veneto in the following season, he then became one of “Pillasio’s men” first at Novara in 2017 and then at Nettuno City in 2019. He skipped the year in Rimini because he decided to focus only on the Colombian Academy.
Alvarez rose through the Houston Astros organization to Double-A and has suited up in the competitive Venezuelan Winter League for the past decade.

Carlo Ravegnani, born in Rimini on 31 January 1968, began his journalistic career at the age of 20 in the then Gazzetta di Rimini, “replaced” in 1993 by the current Corriere Romagna where he works as a sports editor. Collaborator for the Rimini area of the Corriere dello Sport-Stadio, baseball was a fundamental component in his life: first a fan in the stands of the Pirates Stadium, then a player in the legendary Parco Marecchia and then in Rimini 86, a club he founded together with a group of diehard friends. Then hit and run journalist on his own newspaper and some occasional collaborations with specialized magazines as well as radio commentator of Pirates matches together with his friend and colleague Andrea Perari. His managerial career has also begun in recent years, with the presidency (since 2014) of the Torre Pedrera Falcons. The passion was passed down to his son Riccardo who plays pitcher and first base for the same Falcons.
