With the selection of Adames, the Operations Management of the Águilas, headed by René Francisco and Gian Guzmán, significantly reinforces the infield, thanks to the player’s ability to perform with solvency in all infield positions. Adames comes from an outstanding performance with the Tigres del Licey during the regular season, participating in 49 of the 50 games played by the blue team. In that period, he had 169 official at-bats, connecting 52 hits for an average of .308, with 3 home runs, 12 doubles, 20 runs scored and 22 RBIs. In addition, he stole 2 bases in the same number of attempts, recording an OBP of .391, slugging of .432 and OPS of .823. Ambidextrous hitter, Adames already knows the Aguilas environment, after reinforcing the team in the semifinal series of the 2021-2022 season. On that occasion he played in 12 games, batting 11-40 for .275, with a home run, a triple, 6 runs scored and one RBI. The player also has experience in Major Leagues, where he played with the Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants, accumulating 70 hits in 328 at-bats, with 2 home runs, 4 triples, 9 doubles, 21 RBIs, 32 runs and 2 stolen bases in 4 attempts. Cristhian Adames can defend the infield corners, as well as the middle of the field positions, including second base and shortstop, providing depth, experience, and versatility to the roster of the Águilas Cibaeñas.
