The Gigantes del Cibao sign relief pitcher Jojanse Torres as a free agent ahead of the upcoming Dominican Republic professional baseball season.
Torres was selected in the 2019 Draft by the Tigres del Licey in the fifth round, but never made his debut with the Tigres and then made his debut with the Toros del Este in the 2023 season, pitching 1 inning without allowing runs.
The 29-year-old right-handed pitcher returns to LIDOM after his great performance in the current Mexican baseball season, where he served as closer for the Guerreros de Oaxaca.
In 36 relief appearances, Jojanse Torres has a 2-3 record and an ERA of 4.08. He has given up 18 tickets, struck out 25 batters, and his WHIP is 1.41 in 35.1 innings with the Guerreros de Oaxaca, where he has managed to save eight games.
In 4 years pitching in the minority circuits, Torres has a record of 13-8, with an ERA of 4.06 in 199.2 innings pitched. He gave up 119 tickets, struck out 226 batters, and had a WHIP of 1.47, pitching as high as Triple-A.
With the signing of Torres the Gigantes del Cibao continue to strengthen several areas, including the bullpen with young arms and veterans who would be available early on to join the team.
