THREE MEXICANS DEBUT IN MLB THIS YEAR, WHO WILL BE NEXT?

Chepe Zazueta Culiacán, Sin.- With the call-up of pitcher Luis Gastelum to the St. Louis Cardinals. Three Mexicans have debuted this season in the best baseball in the world. The first was Toronto Blue Jays catcher Brandon Valenzuela. The second was Anaheim Angels left-handed pitcher Sammy Natera. And the third we just saw with the "Red Birds." Who will be the fourth? The 156th player born in Mexico with an MLB tag. Everything points to it being a player from Sonora, an infielder with good defense, good speed on the bases, and contact hitting with occasional power. We are referring to Guaymas, Sonora native Jared Serna. Currently in Triple-A with the Miami Marlins, he is hitting around .250 with 8 home runs and over a dozen stolen bases. His offensive numbers are not bad. But it is considered that his main strength is his versatile defense. He can play anywhere in the infield, whether at shortstop or second base. Or in the outfield. That could be the key for Jared Serna to debut and finally have a career in the best baseball in the world, at 24 years old and after 6 years in the minors; even in the Yankees' system where he reached Triple-A.
