Dayán Viciedo
Dayán Viciedo Pérez (born March 10, 1989 in Remedios, Villa Clara Province, Cuba)[1] is a Cuban baseball prodigy. Viciedo, who entered Cuba's National Series at age 15 for Villa Clara, is often compared to Cuban legend Omar Linares, his idol[2].
Viciedo struggled in his first season in the national series, hitting only .243 through the season's first 50 games [3]. However, in his second season, at age sixteen, he hit .337 with 14 home runs[4]. Viciedo was selected to Cuba's provisional 60-player roster for the 2006 World Baseball Classic[3], but was not included in the final team [5].
