The Dominican Diamondbacks in 2021: LIDOM Winter League round-up

After almost a year, we return to the Dominican Winter League again: the LIDOM. Like you might remember from last year’s article, this is probably the toughest winter league. It is a mix of non-professional and professional baseball players, where the latter consist mostly out of Dominican prospects and former MLB and fringe MLB players.

This year we can see the likes of Jose Quintana, Neftalí Feliz, Randall Delgado, Melky Cabrera, Johan Camargo, John Nogowski and Yoan Lopez (all with the Águilas Cibaeñas), Socrates Brito and Robinson Canó (both at Estrellas Orientales), Matt Joyce and Marcell Ozuna (both with Gigantes del Cibao, led by Luis Urueta), 2020 ALDS game 5 hero Mike Brosseau, Estevan Florial, Aaron Hicks, Albert Pujols, Iván Nova, Fernando Rodney and Pedro Strop (all with Leones del Escogido), Aristides Aquino, Delino DeShields, Yermin Mercedes, Chris Owings and Hanley Ramirez (playing for Tigres del Licey) and Vidal Brujan, Yasiel Puig and Josh Reddick (Toros del Este).
