Randy Arozarena signed with the St. Louis Cardinals back in 2016 after a bit of a wild two years prior. After defecting from Cuba in 2014, Arozarena sat out the entirety of 2015, then after signing was immediately brought in and put at High A-Palm Beach in 2017.
After a little over half the minor-league season, Arozarena was batting .275 with an OPS north of .800 so the Cardinals sent him up to AA Springfield where his numbers took a small hit but he didn’t get drowned by the higher competition at the age of 22.
