Colombian Luis Urueta completed his fourth season as Lidom’s starting manager, one with Licey and the last three with the Giants. In each of those contests he has reached the Final Series, winning it last year… His record in regular series is now 89-81 and he is a solid candidate to become the seventh foreign manager to achieve one hundred wins .
The other six are Dean Treanor (199-191), Dave Jauss (162-145), Tom LaSorda (153-136), Hubb Kittle (137-118), Johnny Lipon (120-88) and Lino Rivera 120-89) …The veteran Jauss finished as leader of the Chosen One, participating in these functions for the seventh time in the history of the circuit.
There were 309 errors made in the tournament, the fewest for a 150-game schedule since 2014-15 when it missed 289 times…The average errors per game was 2.06. In 2020-21, in a Regular Series of just ninety games due to the Covid-19 pandemic, that percentage was 1.59 and has been the lowest in history. It exceeded the 1.93 of the indicated 2014-15.
In that sense, the worst in winter baseball was 1960-61, when 387 blunders were committed in 106 games, averaging 4.07. That year it was played with only native players… With 28 home runs hit and tied with the Eagles, the Giants obtain the lead in that category for the fourth consecutive year.
In its 27 years of existence, the San Francisco de MacorÃs team has led that department thirteen times, including that in 2008-09 they established the mark of 71… The Giants now total 890 home runs in the first stage of the tournaments, more than the Bulls that add up to 710 and have participated in 38 championships.
This situation is explained by the environmental conditions in each of the headquarters of these teams. In San Francisco the density of the air is lighter than in La Romana and consequently the ball travels more easily…Despite that, the Toros have been collective leaders in home runs three times; 1991-92, 1994-95 and 1997-98, with 18, 27 and 25 respectively…Henry Urrutia was the fourteenth left-handed batter to win a batting title in Lidom…
