The Dominican Republic, which was represented by
Escogido, won the Caribbean Series 2010. They went 5-1 in the 4 team double round robin tournament against the winners of the Mexican, Venezuelan, and
Puerto Rican winter leagues.
The Dominican Winter Baseball League has the story
here, but this is in Spanish. Or see it in English at the
MLB Winter league site
here. There are also a few other highlights and stats at the
MLB Winter League site.

Several Dominicans or players from the Dominican team made the all tournament team.
Juan Francisco, the Dominican League MVP, also had a good tournament. The Dominican Baseball Guy has said it before, Juan Francisco is going to be a good or really good
MLB player, probably this year. Hopefully Kevin Barker gets some more big league time too, as he has put up numbers in AA, AAA, and the top winter leagues. Both these guys are in the Reds organization. And yes that is 42 year old Vinny
Castilla who spent 16 years in the big leagues, still playing in his home country in the winter league.
