Many Venezuelan hitters, veterans or rookies, started hitting hard in the first round of this 2024 season in the Major Leagues.
After this first week is over, the most notable of the compatriots is Oswaldo Cabrera, who, due to the injury of regular DJ LeMahieu, who will miss at least 21 days, stayed in the hot corner of the New York Yankees, where he has played three games, apart from the other one at shortstop.
So far he is hitting .478 (16-7) with three runs scored, a double, two home runs and six RBIs. He has no sins in those four games.
Another who started hot in his first games is Margarita outfielder Anthony Santander (Baltimore Orioles), who has three runs scored, a double, two homers and seven RBIs in right field.
Also Eugenio Suárez in his first four games with his new team, Cascabeles de Arizona, is seeing it clearly in third. Aside from having no errors, he averages .462 (13-6) with three runs scored, a home run, four RBIs and a walk.
For his part, Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras is not far behind and also in three league games for .385 (13-5) with a pair of doubles and the same number of RBIs.
Of course, Ronald Acuña Jr., despite the scare in the preseason, is still a timely leadoff hitter with Atlanta, as he averages .417 (12-5) with four runs scored, one RBI, two walks and his first steal.
His teammate, Orlando Arcia, wants to take over the short stops and in three league matches for .500 (12-6) with three doubles, one transfer and two scored.
One who benefited from the change of teams was Edward Daniel Olivares, who went from the Kansas City Royals to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
