CAMAGÜEY.- Four members of the Bulls of the Plains were called today for the preselection of the team Cuba that will have the difficult task of winning an Olympic ticket in the strong Premier 12 tournament.

 Headed by the cleanup hitter and captain of the Camagüeyan team Alexánder Ayala, also integrating the group of starter pitchers there are Yosimar Cousín, Yariel Rodríguez and Frank Madan.

 A quartet that could have added the left-handed pitcher Dariel Góngora, national champion with Las Tunas and although this has not been his best season, it has not been the best either for the left-handed Ulfrido García, especially if the player form Santiago is going to be used as relief, since he has been out of control this season.

 Another bull that could have slipped into the list is Luis González, who after coming back from the Dominican Republic is the cleanup hitter of the Series, 259 in average, nine home runs and a slugging of 607, numbers superior to those of the player form Holguin Jorge Luis Peña, that only exceeds him in one home run.

 Among the great absences there is the returned Leslie Anderson, a baseball player adapted to bat the good pitching that they will face in the tournament. At 37 years old, he could have added experience to the team. His absence is one of the samples of the very little decision power that the manager of Camagüey had over the list of the 37 summoned players.

 Yesterday it was already revealed that the coach would be the Camagüeyan Miguel Borroto, a really difficult task given the short time that he will have to work with the team and the clarifying note that the baseball players inserted in the Japanese league will not come for training. New training methods, the application of the sport science, the ability to unite an excellent management team and exquisite teaching skills for the dialogue with the athletes have been the key for the coach at the head of the Bulls.

 Aware of the extent of the event, known its designation, assured that he intends to take this style of work to the national selection. “It has worked for me, it is what I have always done and now I will do it too”, stated for Adelante.cu, not without saying first to the fanatics in his province that he leaves the rearguard in the Camagüeyan team guaranteed.

 Eight names in this list can be changed and then there will be left 28 Cuban baseball players that will form the national selection that, as was revealed, will depart for Asia on the next October 24. Very few details have been revealed about the preparation and the starting date.

 The Premier gathers the national selections that occupy the best 12 spots in the world ranking of the World Baseball Softball Confederation. This year it will be redeemed in Mexico, South Korea and Japan and the competence will work as a pre-Olympic for Tokyo 2020. Cuba will dispute the group of Korea where Canada will be the first rival the next November 6th, and in the following days will match with Australia and South Korea, all of them in the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.
