LIGA DE BEISBOL DOMINICANO

Escogido 6, Águilas 1

After toiling for Toros, who finished with the worst record in the LIDOM, Raúl Valdés was chosen 1st overall by Escogido in, if I'm not mistaken, a draft in which players from the 2 eliminated teams (Estrellas and Toros) are eligible to be taken by the other 4 teams (Licey, Escogido, Águilas, and Gigantes) who have qualified for the playoffs, which is a round-robin format.

Leones del Escogido
