Five of the teams choose 3 pitchers from the five players that are allowed, except Havana which choose four pitchers and the league’s leading hitter Frederich Cepeda.

ADD BASEBALL GAME TO YOUR CUBA TRIP
The Cuban National Baseball Series played its’ 2019 all-star game on Sunday, and unlike the U.S. where there are two leagues, in Cuba the teams are divided into western Cuba and eastern Cuba. The eastern teams won 3-0, and second phase of the season kicks-off on October 27th, with all six teams playing that day. There will be baseball in Havana through December, and a game at El Cerro Stadium always makes for a great addition to any Cuba tour.
