Earlier this offseason there was a chance that the Mets could have lost outfield prospect Wuilmer Becerra in the Rule 5 draft but thankfully teams decided to take a pass on the opportunity. Becerra extended his hitting streak last night to seven games with a 4 for 4 night. He knocked in his 11th run, was hit by a pitch, and scored twice for the Tigres de Aragua.
Wuilmer is 13 for 29 during his hitting streak with a homerun which you can see here. Overall during the Venezuelan Winter League he is batting .405/.416/.500 with a double, two homeruns, and 13 runs scored while playing right and left field.
New Met shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera was the hero for the Leones del Caracas last night hitting a walkoff single to right field in the Venezuelan Winter League. You can watch the hit here. He was 1 for 3 last night with the RBI and two walks as the designated hitter. In three games Cabrera is now 2 for 11 with two RBI, two walks, and five strikeouts. The hit sends the Caracas into a one game playoff today for the right to play in the postseason.
In his third game for the Toros del Este in the Dominican League playoffs Alejandro De Aza was 1 for 3 with a walk while playing right field. He is now 1 for 10 with two strikeouts since being added to the roster last week.
Johnny Monell has struggled of late going 5 for 32 over his last ten games dropping his slash line down to .269/.392/.420. He was 1 for 4 with a strikeout last night for the Criollos de Caguas in the Puerto Rican League. He has walked 22 times compared to 20 strikeouts and has stolen four bases.
Last night was the final day of the regular season in the Mexican and Venezuelan League.
