Baseball, Serie A 2022 kicks off tomorrow. Everyone against San Marino, many news in the teams – OA Sport
The Serie A1 2022 will start tomorrow as regards an Italian baseball that is trying to define its own rebirth. A first signal came with the European Championships of 2021, even if the long-awaited final did not arrive, and this summer Mike Piazza will have Haarlem Week as its goal. In essence, this is the only appointment that will interrupt the championship, but also that will give the same way to make terms in terms of useful information.
All against San Marino, who enters the year with the title of Italian Champion on his chest. And the San Marino question, for this year, could become even more important if we consider that Doriano Bindi has managed to reach the powerful Jesus Ustariz, on his return to Italy after the experiences of Neptune and Rimini. Gabriel Lino is also a brave shot; to signal the entry of Palumbo on the mountain. The continuity line is represented by Tiago Da Silvawhile they closed both Albanian and Reginato with baseball.
Fortitudo UnipolSai Bologna tries again to take what it feels to be its own: the hunt for the Scudetto. There is no longer Claudio Scotti, who arrived in the New York Mets minors, but Lele Frignani has greatly embellished the Italian department, with Andretta, Bocchi, De included and the block of the past year Raul Rivero. The purchase of the Lampe exterior is significant: the goal is quite clear.
Baseball: the Harlem Week calendar. On 8 July there will be Italy-Holland
To follow with great attention Parma, if only for the return of Aldo Koutsoyanopulos and the presence of Carlos Contreras on the mountain. Neptune, on the other hand, literally changed everything that he could change in the fact of human material: inside, among others, the brothers Garbella, Drajer, Espnial, then Camilo and Lage on the mountain. Kodai Hamaya will arrive later, directly from Japan.
But there are also many luxury suitors. The Bbc Grosseto, for example, has placed three leading names in the team, namely Noguera, Ambrosino and Loardibut there is a lot to be said for a formation that does not hide its ambitions even a little. Thirty-third year in Serie A for Godo, who celebrates with the signing of Giuseppe Grado, a Cuban pitcher, while in Macerata there will be a Korean one, Sung Mi Choi. The other Grosseto, the one represented by the Bsc, has instead secured Flores, a good past in the Major League.
There will be 30 teams at the start, and no longer 32 as per original plans. Montefiascone and Paternò, in fact, gave up, albeit with different timing. Four groups of eight originally, then became three of eight and one of six with one-way matches and nine innings. The first two of each group will go to the second phase, where these eight formations will be divided into two groups that will play on the seven rounds on Friday, Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening with a home, return and intergirone. Then the semifinals and the Italian Baseball Series at the best of seven matches. The other 22 teams will play, again on the novenings, the salvation poule in and will have the opportunity to look for the Italian Cup. For the last two there will be Serie B. It starts tomorrow, with San Marino-Torre Pedrera.
