New to the Cedar Rapids Kernels this year is Randy Rosario, a left handed pitcher who won’t turn twenty until next month. Randy hails from the city of Nagua in the Dominican Republic, which is also the home of Ubaldo Jimenez! Randy went pro at the age of seventeen playing in the Dominican Summer League. He then put in a year with the Gulf Coast League Twins and, last season, pitched for the Elizabethton Twins. His innings pitched totals have increased each year and his ERA over these three years is 2.75. An interesting factoid is that, so far, Randy has faced 501 batters and has yet to give up a home run in his pro career! Randy is scheduled to start tonight, Friday, if the morning’s predicted snow showers in Cedar Rapids don’t amount to much.
