Ezequiel Infante’s Winter Break
Posted on 18. May, 2010 by Corey in All, Dayton Dragons Baseball, General Baseball.
After completing a grueling 140 game minor league baseball season, most players look forward to the offseason and the break away from competition. But for former Dayton Dragon Ezequiel Infante, he could not wait to get home and continue playing games.
Infante returned home to the Dominican Republic and joined the Tigres del Licey, one of the most successful and well known franchises in the Dominican Winter League. Being one of the youngest players, Infante only received one inning in a game, but is very glad for the experience.
When asked about what it was like, Infante told me he learned so much watching and listening to so many successful current and former Major League baseball players. It also gave him the chance to stay in shape both physically and mentally for the upcoming season.
As spring training is in full swing for minor league players, Infante feels like he is throwing the ball great and says he owes a lot of that to his Winter Ball experience.
