The countdown to the Opening Day of the 2023 MLB season It is about to end and with it, we will be able to see several Mexicans in action. Several Mexican baseball players excelled during the World Baseball Classic and reached the semifinals, surprising millions of fans of the beautiful game.
However, the Mexicans have been standing out in the MLB for a long time, which is why they are more excited for 2023. On the mound, offensively or defensively, Mexico boasts several specialists who have gradually gained ground in their teams .
For example, Julio Urías was champion of the World Series and left the closer’s job to become a starter for the Dodgers. After two seasons, manager Dave Roberts chose him to start the game against Arizona corresponding to Opening Day of MLB.
Among the 30 pitchers who will star in the first duels of the year, “Culichi” is the only Mexican; however, there will be other representatives in different positions on the diamond. Randy Arozarena made the fans fall in love, so interest in the Tampa Bay Rays will surely grow.
And despite the fact that some players were not part of the roster of the Mexican National Team, they remain important pieces in their teams. So in order not to lose detail about the Opening Day of the MLB, we leave you all the details about the return of the Mexicans to the activity.
