Baseball Academies In Unusual Solitude

In a normal situation, the swing of the bats, the choruses and slaps of the players, the catches at this stage marked an atmosphere of joy and rejoicing in the baseball academies, since the teams were immersed in the so-called Grapefruit League, which serves as a prelude to the opening of the Dominican Summer League tournament.  (Translated)

On Thursday, the day the Cardinals were to have played their home opener, Busch Stadium wasn’t filled with fans wearing Cardinal red, and the Clydesdales didn’t trot around the warning track to “Here Comes the King.” Instead the team urged fans to stay home and stay safe during the coronavirus pandemic.
St. Louis Official Site

When baseball spring training camps closed officially about three weeks ago, at least some players on every team stayed around a while to work out, as best they could. But when they strongly were advised to go home, most of them did, either taking their families with them or to see their families.
Post-Dispatch

On what should have been the Cardinals’ home opening day Thursday, John Mozeliak needed only four words to describe what he thinks will happen with the game this season – “We just don’t know.”

Diowill Burgos tore through the DSL in the first month of the season and led in many offensive categories, later earning a promotion.  Gustavo Rodriguez, Claudio Ramirez, and Hansel Otamendi hit real well at the plate.  Darlyn Del Villar had no trouble driving in runs and Sander Mora led the teams in runs scored.

Several players deserve consideration for the 2019 Dominican Summer League Player of the Year.  Sander Mora, Albert Inoa, Claudio Ramirez, Fernando Diaz, and Darlin Moquete all had a hand in their respective teams winning  But the one person that sticks out the most is Luis Andujar, who led both teams in hits, doubles, RBIs, and was second in OBP, SLG, and AVG.  Andujar is my personal choice for the award this season.
