🇨🇺🇺🇸🦅 JC Escarra has a clear goal with the Águilas Cibaeñas: help bring home a championship!
The Cuban-American catcher wants to give his best and be there for the team in the decisive stages of the LIDOM season after an injury cut short his plans to play the entire campaign last year.
🗣️ “I know that last year I tried to play the entire season, but I got injured. I’m coming in with the same intentions this year: to give my best for the team, be here for the Round Robin, and help win a championship.”
⚾ His words reflect his commitment to the black and yellow and his desire to contribute to a championship run. For Escarra, being available for the Round Robin and delivering when his team needs him most are central to that mission.
🏆 Eyes on the crown!
