“Together with the technical committee and the colleagues we serve in this category, we ran a check throughout the National Series, and they (Vargas and Gonzalez) had a good start, but when it was over Andy had a fundamental decline in his performance and the strength of their versions.

In Eric’s case, he finished with a slightly elevated ERA during the playoff stage. We did a technical assessment, considering that the event has characteristics that are played only seven rounds, where if your starter goes between five to six rounds, or four to five rounds, we have three athletes currently doing better and they have had a stable National Series as is The case with Marlon Vega, Yosefani Avalos and Randy Cueto, given the characteristics and that the event was close, they were in better athletic shape than the industrial shooters.”
