Víctor Mesa Jr. goes back on his way to the big leagues

The major league debut has become elusive to Víctor Mesa Jr.

He arrived less than two weeks ago to the Miami Marlins training field willing to fight for a position in the Róster for the opening day, but a slight distension in the right ischiotibial, will keep him out of action for about a month.

That means that it will not be ready for when the season starts on March 27 and must go directly to the minor leagues to complete their preparation.

The new Marlins manager, Clayton McCullough, could not hide his frustration against the press in the team’s training field in Jupiter, Florida.

“It is a shame, both for us and for him, because he was doing really interesting things. Our batting coaches were very excited about what I was showing. You hate seeing any type of setback in the camp, but at least it happened now. He will recover, get healthy and have a long season ahead, ”said McCullough, who will debut as a helmsman this year in the elders.

Since he was signed with just 17 years by the Miami Marlins together with his older brother, Víctor Víctor, the minor of the former head of the Cuban national squad Víctor Mesa was indicated by experts such as the most possibilities between the two of reaching the highest level.

His signature bonus was one million dollars, while his brother received five.

However, Víctor Víctor never justified such a amount of money and two years ago, management dismissed him for low performance and disciplinary problems, while Víctor Jr. followed his gradual ascent at all levels of the organization.

The 2024 seemed the year in which he would receive the expected ascent call, in September, when the teams go up to their prospects for the last month of the campaign.

But a back injury sent him to the list of disabled for 60 days and trunched his hopes of debuting in the elders.

The mishap this time does not seem to be so serious and once recovered, it must ascend at any time, given the situation of the team, plagued with young figures without any popularity, which will allow management of constant movements of up and down to try so many prospects.

But for now, the youngest of the table brothers must work in their health, while still in the waiting circle.
