Suben los bonos de Moisés Ballesteros en los Cachorros tras una gran temporada
Suben los bonos de Moisés Ballesteros en los Cachorros tras una gran temporada
CHICAGO -- Los Cachorros sabían que el nivel Triple-A pondría a prueba al receptor Moisés Ballesteros de diversas formas. No solamente sería otro paso adelante para el prometedor bate del venezolano, sino que también le brindaría la oportunidad de trabajar con lanzadores más experimentados, incluyendo a muchos con experiencia en las Grandes Ligas.
“Ése es un salto rápido y difícil para un receptor joven”, señaló Jason Kanzler, director de desarrollo de jugadores de los Cachorros. “Este año, se le ha retado bastante con ese salto y lo ha manejado bien”.
El potencial ofensivo siempre ha sido la herramienta más emocionante de Ballesteros, quien firmó con los Cachorros en enero del 2021. Ésa fue una de las razones principales por las que los Cachorros reconocieron a Ballesteros con el premio Buck O’Neil al Jugador del Año de Liga Menor del 2023. El valor del careta ha seguido aumentando con su consistente producción esta temporada.
“Lo que ha hecho en el plato este año es obviamente emocionante”, dijo Kanzler. “Pero lo que no se menciona mucho es que en realidad ha mejorado bastante a la defensa. Todavía tiene trabajo por hacer, pero no podemos descontar el esfuerzo que ha puesto en ese aspecto y las mejoras que ha logrado.

“Es capaz de atrapar la bola, bloquearla y puede poner out a los corredores. Está mejorando a la hora de cuadrar los pitcheos. Entonces, creo que está trabajando muy duro para convertirse en una opción de receptor más completa en Grandes Ligas en el futuro, y eso nos emociona”.
Ballesteros bateó .299/.372/.495 con nueve jonrones y 43 carreras impulsadas en 56 juegos por Doble-A Tennessee al comenzar esta temporada, antes de ser ascendido a Triple-A Iowa el 18 de junio. En 60 partidos en dicho nivel, tiene línea ofensiva de .273/.335/.455 con 10 bambinazos y 31 remolcadas. En general, tiene OPS de .825 con un 18.7% de tasa de ponches y un 9.0% de tasa de bases por bolas.
Los Cachorros han puesto a Ballesteros como cátcher titular en 66 partidos en el 2024, pero han mantenido su bate en el orden ofensivo con regularidad como bateador designado (39 juegos) y primera base (ocho encuentros). Kanzler afirma que el joven receptor ha demostrado mucha madurez en cómo ha ido asumiendo cada vez más su trabajo defensivo a lo largo de la temporada, tras bastidores.
“Él entiende el valor de eso, lo que ha llevado a mejorar casi todo”, dijo Kanzler. “Y eso es porque se lo está tomando en serio. Creo que se ha dado cuenta, o se le ha dicho lo suficiente en este punto, de que su bate es su herramienta principal, pero puede ser mucho más si su defensa está lista para las Grandes Ligas”.
