Is he from the Dominican or somewhere like that?  

He was born in the Dominican Republic and I think spends at least part of the offseason there.

The A’s are in Las Vegas on a 6 game stretch; first the Brewers for 3 games, then the Rockies for 3 games at the Las Vegas Ballpark, home of the AAA Aviators.

Last nights game 1 was a slugfest, to say the least…

>29 total runs scored: Most in MLB this season 

>11 combined home runs: Most in MOB this season 

>Length of game…4 hours and 14 minutes: Longest game this season 

>16 ABS challenges: Most in MLB this season

>11 successful ABS challenges: Most in MOB this season

After 12 innings, the Brewers won with the final score of 15-14; Brewers had 18 hits and the A’s has 16 hits.

Brewers are in first place in the NL Central and the A’s are in 3rd place in the AL West.

My Yankees are in 2nd place in the AL East!!

GO YANKEES!!

It's funny, I was actually just reading through this page: https://www.baseball-reference.com/friv/abs-challenges.shtml

Baseball Reference just launched a page with ABS challenge data, and it's pretty interesting.

Great article. Thanks for sharing it, @Patrick!!

I’m for the ABS because it has eliminated things like ejections over a called strike or ball. For me that’s a good thing.
