Cuba’s squad for the Men’s World Cup in Auckland, New Zealand from November 26 to December 4 includes four players, led by star pitcher Guspel Bluetin from Santiago de Cuba, who was unable to participate. In the most recent edition of the national championship due to the fulfillment of his contract in Guatemala, but was invited to this global event.
Bluetin performed brilliantly at the XI Pan American Softball Championship (m) in Parana, Argentina, where our team won a passport to New Zealand and guaranteed credentials for the 2023 Central American and Caribbean Games in San Salvador. and the Pan American Games in Santiago de Chile in 2023, this last event including men’s softball.
Cuba is currently ranked twelfth in the world, and this is its third participation in an event in the world, since 1988, in Canada, where it finished fourth, and more recently in Prague 2019, in the Czech Republic. Ranked tenth.
