Fukuoka SoftBank of the Japan Professional Baseball League will again have designated hitter and outfielder in their ranks Alfredo Despaigne Rodríguez as the journalist Francys Romero made public on his social networks.
The 35-year-old had terminated his contract with the Japanese franchise after the 2021 season and had declared his intention to play in some Caribbean Leagues a few months ago upon terminating his contract so that he could spend more time with his family.
The operation was closed for a value around 2.5 million, according to the journalist’s note.
The Cuban slugger suffered some injuries that prevented him from leaving great marks at the end of the season but his great offensive rebound at the end of the season suggests that he still has a lot to contribute to the Fukuoka team.
The knight of the horses left an offensive average of .264 after intervening in 80 games in which he also shot 10 homers and drove in 41 teammates to the plate while his offensive line was fixed at (.373 OBP / .437 SLU / .810 OPS).
Currently, the native of Santiago de Cuba has been training since last Monday with the preselection of the Alazanes de Granma with a view to the 61 National Baseball Series under the orders of the experienced director Carlos Martí Santos at the Mártires de Barbados stadium in the city from Bayamo.
The best season carried out by the Cuban on Asian soil came in 2016 when he was included in the Ideal Team of the tournament as a designated hitter after leading the Pacific League in home runs (35) RBIs (103).
In this way in 2022 Alfred He will intervene in his ninth season in Japan, where the moment is already accumulating 769 games played in which he has managed to send 170 balls to the stands.
