Why this matters: The addition of Won-Bin Cho to the Criollos de Caguas roster may boost the team’s performance in the upcoming season, potentially attracting more fans to Estadio Yldefonso Solá Morales and contributing to the local sports scene in Caguas.

The Criollos de Caguas baseball team announced the signing of South Korean outfielder Won-Bin Cho, a prospect of the St. Louis Cardinals organization, as their second imported player for the 2026-2027 season of the Liga de Béisbol Profesional Roberto Clemente (LBPRC). Cho, 23, joins right-handed pitcher Tyler Myrick as the team’s first two announced imports.

According to Criollos general manager Kelvin Colón, Cho is a young and dynamic player with the five tools, having demonstrated power, speed, and base-stealing ability. In his best professional season to date, Cho batted .271 with 20 home runs, 23 doubles, 74 RBIs, and 30 stolen bases in 110 games across Class A Advanced and Double-A. The Criollos’ season begins on November 4 against the Senadores de San Juan at Estadio Yldefonso Solá Morales.
