Guillermo Heredia when yard among the two hits he collected today in SSG’s 7-5 win over the Kia Tigers. The outfielder from Matanzas, Cuba also drove in two runs and scored on an occasion to watch his average soar to a robust .372. The outfielder who was re-signed in the offseason with the ballclub is hitting .542 with a double, homerun, and eight runs batted over his last three games.
Another appearance was made by one of the highly regarded Cuban prospects within the farm system of the Nippon Professional Baseball League, his name Darío Sarduy of the Softbank Hawks. The 18-year-old from Villa Clara, Cuba took the mound against the second team Doosan Bears (Korean Baseball League (KBO) squad).

During his outing he threw two complete innings in relief allowing one hit, one run, and striking out two, according to the report of Japanese colleague Yuichi Terawaki. Sarduy has good potential and a very deceptive delivery from the left side.
His fastest pitch from Wednesday’s outing was 90 miles per hour on a four-seam fastball. His curveball is very tantalizing and reminds many of his countrymen and fellow left-hander Liván Moinelo, who is a top starter for the squad from Fukuoka.
