The two pitchers are already in the Dominican Republic and will be available to manager Víctor Estévez and his coaching staff to debut when they deem it appropriate. “We are focused on continuing to reinforce our pitching staff, as we understand that pitching will be key to compete in the remainder of the tournament,” said Jesús Mejía, general manager of the Toros. “They are experienced arms, without limitations, that can contribute both in the rotation and from the bullpen,” he added. Moran, a left-hander with experience in the Major Leagues with the Miami Marlins, Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Angels (2022), comes from an outstanding performance with the Mayagüez Indians in Puerto Rico. There he pitched in nine games, seven as a starter, accumulating 31.2 innings, with only six walks allowed, 29 strikeouts, an ERA of 3.69 and a WHIP of 1.20. During the summer, Moran split his time between Double-A and Triple-A with the Atlanta Braves organization, where he recorded 57 strikeouts and only 12 walks in 59 innings, with an earned run average of 3.36 and a WHIP of 1.00. This will be Moran’s fourth participation in LIDOM, after successfully pitching with the Leones del Escogido during the previous three seasons. In his career in the Dominican league, he has a 2-1 record, an ERA of 2.89, 44 strikeouts and only six walks in 37.1 innings, with a WHIP of 1.04. For his part, Carrillo, 34, comes from playing in Mexico with the Tucson Baseball Team, where he left a mark of 5-4 and an ERA of 4.40 in 12 starts, accumulating 61.1 innings pitched. The right-hander already knows the Dominican league, after briefly reinforcing the Águilas Cibaeñas during the Round Robin of the 2019-20 season. Los Toros del Este start the week in the second position of the Round Robin, seeking to return to a Final Series for the first time since the 2019-2020 season.
