Heredia possesses an excellent glove but a suspect bat. Could the Cuban center fielder be a possible target for the Mets?
Guillermo Heredia Jr. was born on January 31, 1991, in Matanzas, the capital of the Cuban province bearing the same name. Baseball is in Heredia's blood, as his father is Guillermo Heredia Sr., an outfielder with a career .296/.384/.357 batting line during his eleven-year baseball career.
Growing up in the "City of Bridges," Guillermo Jr. refined his baseball skills to the point that he was good enough to make the Cuban national junior team. After an impressive performance in the 18U World Championships in 2009, he was rostered by Cocodrilos for the 2009-2010 season (the 49th Serie Nacional de Beisbol).
