First, he led the Leones del Escogido to the championship of the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League in the 2024-2025 season, and later managed the Dominican Republic national team in the most recent World Baseball Classic.\n\nThe president of the Estrellas, Miguel Feris, highlighted the value of the arrival of the former slugger, emphasizing that his experience and knowledge of the game constitute a very important asset for the franchise.\n\nPujols built one of the most outstanding careers in Major League history, after 22 seasons with teams like the St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Angels. He finished with 703 home runs \u2014fourth all-time\u2014, 2,218 RBIs \u2014second all-time\u2014 and a batting average of .296, the product of 3,384 hits.\n\nWinner of the Rookie of the Year award in 2001 and three-time National League Most Valuable Player, as well as 11 All-Star selections, the Dominican retired in 2022 and is poised to be a future Cooperstown Hall of Fame inductee in his first opportunity.\n\nAfter his retirement, Pujols has remained involved in baseball as a special advisor to the Angels, an experience that he now complements with this new executive challenge in Dominican winter baseball.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
