Suben los bonos de Mois¨¦s Ballesteros en los Cachorros tras una gran temporada
Suben los bonos de Mois¨¦s Ballesteros en los Cachorros tras una gran temporada
CHICAGO -- Los Cachorros sab¨ªan que el nivel Triple-A pondr¨ªa a prueba al receptor Mois¨¦s Ballesteros de diversas formas. No solamente ser¨ªa otro paso adelante para el prometedor bate del venezolano, sino que tambi¨¦n le brindar¨ªa la oportunidad de trabajar con lanzadores m¨¢s experimentados, incluyendo a muchos con experiencia en las Grandes Ligas.
¡°?se es un salto r¨¢pido y dif¨ªcil para un receptor joven¡±, se?al¨® Jason Kanzler, director de desarrollo de jugadores de los Cachorros. ¡°Este a?o, se le ha retado bastante con ese salto y lo ha manejado bien¡±.
El potencial ofensivo siempre ha sido la herramienta m¨¢s emocionante de Ballesteros, quien firm¨® con los Cachorros en enero del 2021. ?sa fue una de las razones principales por las que los Cachorros reconocieron a Ballesteros con el premio Buck O¡¯Neil al Jugador del A?o de Liga Menor del 2023. El valor del careta ha seguido aumentando con su consistente producci¨®n esta temporada.
¡°Lo que ha hecho en el plato este a?o es obviamente emocionante¡±, dijo Kanzler. ¡°Pero lo que no se menciona mucho es que en realidad ha mejorado bastante a la defensa. Todav¨ªa tiene trabajo por hacer, pero no podemos descontar el esfuerzo que ha puesto en ese aspecto y las mejoras que ha logrado.
Congratulations to Moises Ballesteros for being named International League Player of the Week!! pic.twitter.com/8Vf4ZE4ECQ
¡°Es capaz de atrapar la bola, bloquearla y puede poner out a los corredores. Est¨¢ mejorando a la hora de cuadrar los pitcheos. Entonces, creo que est¨¢ trabajando muy duro para convertirse en una opci¨®n de receptor m¨¢s completa en Grandes Ligas en el futuro, y eso nos emociona¡±.
Ballesteros bate¨® .299/.372/.495 con nueve jonrones y 43 carreras impulsadas en 56 juegos por Doble-A Tennessee al comenzar esta temporada, antes de ser ascendido a Triple-A Iowa el 18 de junio. En 60 partidos en dicho nivel, tiene l¨ªnea ofensiva de .273/.335/.455 con 10 bambinazos y 31 remolcadas. En general, tiene OPS de .825 con un 18.7% de tasa de ponches y un 9.0% de tasa de bases por bolas.
Los Cachorros han puesto a Ballesteros como c¨¢tcher titular en 66 partidos en el 2024, pero han mantenido su bate en el orden ofensivo con regularidad como bateador designado (39 juegos) y primera base (ocho encuentros). Kanzler afirma que el joven receptor ha demostrado mucha madurez en c¨®mo ha ido asumiendo cada vez m¨¢s su trabajo defensivo a lo largo de la temporada, tras bastidores.
¡°?l entiende el valor de eso, lo que ha llevado a mejorar casi todo¡±, dijo Kanzler. ¡°Y eso es porque se lo est¨¢ tomando en serio. Creo que se ha dado cuenta, o se le ha dicho lo suficiente en este punto, de que su bate es su herramienta principal, pero puede ser mucho m¨¢s si su defensa est¨¢ lista para las Grandes Ligas¡±.
