He opened the season at Class-A Inland Empire, where he hit .143 with 18 strikeouts in14 games before suffering a left shoulder injury that sidelined him for six weeks in May and June. Baldoquin played three seasons for Las Tunas in Cuba’s Serie Nacional, the top league on the island, and hewas a member of the country’s 16-and-under national team before leaving Cuba for the Dominican Republic in February 2014.
