You’ve heard of that guy in California that they call “The Machine”, right? Well the Cubs organization has their own version. He goes by the name Machin – Vimael Machin. And he’s playing splitting his time between Eugene and South Bend these days. Ian Happ was the talk of the 2015 Cubs draft class but 10th round pick Machin was the first to arrive at Low A South Bend. Machin was called up to fill in for Jesse Hodges who was participating in the Pan Am Games.
A 21 year old shortstop from San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, Vimael Machin (@Vimael25) is rockin’ the #9 recently vacated by Cael Brockmeyer (@BigBrock9) and bats left but throws right.
