Yasiel Puig, the Cuban player, has been playing really well recently.
Because of his great performance, the La Guaira Sharks have a good chance to reach the finals again.
Puig has played 23 games with the team. Every time he plays, he shows how powerful he is. He even came second in the Home Run Festival, only after Ronald Acuña Jr. won against him in the final round.
Before playing for La Guaira Sharks, Puig played for Estrellas Orientales in the Dominican Republic. In 18 games there, he had an average of .250, with 15 hits and one home run.
But when he started playing in Venezuela for LVBP, he did even better. After the Christmas break, his average improved a lot. He has a .415 batting average, with 34 hits and nine home runs.
Looking at all the numbers, Puig is one of the best players in the winter leagues. He hits a home run almost every 14 times he bats.
