00:00 Opening week, the moment we've been waiting for since last November.
00:06 It's happened! The Texas Rangers win the World Series!
00:12 A new season to break records.
00:15 No one's ever come close to that.
00:17 To keep writing names in history books.
00:21 Number 200 for Luis Saray.
00:24 To leave everyone pumped.
00:27 Joel Varese, swing and a miss.
00:29 So your name is pronounced by baseball fans.
00:33 Triple for Jackson Torrio.
00:35 So they can keep impressing us with their pitches.
00:38 To remember why he's a franchise player.
00:42 Absolutely incredible.
00:44 A new season begins, the best baseball in the world.
00:47 And here at Arepa Power, we'll be reporting the best performances of the Venezuelans in the major leagues.
00:55 I'm Mari Carmen Fariña, and week by week, you'll be able to enjoy with us the longest squares,
01:02 the best defensive plays, the performances on the line, that and much more.
01:22 And to start from the beginning, with all this excitement about the best baseball in the world,
01:28 I want to test the memory of each one of you.
01:32 And that's why I'm asking you, who was the Venezuelan who hit the longest home run in the 2023 campaign?
01:40 And I'm going to help you.
01:42 Was it Francisco Alvarez, Ronald Acuña Jr., or Salvador Perez?
01:48 Later on, we'll be showing you one by one of the squares, until we get to the correct answer.
01:55 Let's now move on to the performance of the Venezuelan opening players in 2023,
02:07 remembering the season of Pablo López and Jesús Luzardo.
02:11 The right-handed Minnesota Mellizos was third in punches with 234, and he pitched 4.88 punches for each ticket.
02:20 He pitched 3,024. The percentage of punches was 29.2.
02:27 He used the 4-seam line 34.5%.
02:32 And his most effective pitching was the sweeper, to which they hit only 173 on average.
02:39 For his part, Jesús Luzardo set a record of more punches for a left-handed pitcher with 208 in the Marlins franchise.
02:48 And he was third in the history of the team, behind José Fernández and Ryan Dempster.
02:53 His fastest pitching was a corner of 99.7 miles, which made Brandon Nimo miss with a rolling to the short field.
03:01 51.8% of the batters made him swing his slider without hitting the ball.
03:07 Now I ask you, how many punches will each of them add this season?
03:12 And will Pablo López be in the conversation for the Cy Young? What do you think?
03:18 Big League teams continue to invest in Venezuelan talent.
03:22 And during the break, several players signed important contracts.
03:27 Let's start by talking about Jackson Chourio, who at only 20 years old
03:32 already has $82 million guaranteed for the next 8 years.
03:38 Milwaukee beer makers signed the extension of the contract with the talented gardener
03:43 before playing his first game in the big leagues.
03:47 And Houston Stars want José Altuve to play with them for the rest of his career.
03:52 And that's why they offered the waiter an extension until 2029 for $125 million.
03:59 Altuve will continue to be an important part of the team, which has 7 consecutive seasons reaching the playoffs.
04:05 Counting on the contribution of the second base, which reached 27 quadrangles in the postseason.
04:10 Second place in the history of MLB behind Manny Ramírez, who is 29 years old.
04:15 And another young talent who got an excellent contract is Ezequiel Tobar of the Colorado Rockies,
04:21 who signed an extension of 7 years that guarantees him $63.5 million.
04:30 The 22-year-old shortstop beat 253 on average with 15 horns and 37 doubles in his rookie season in 2023.
04:45 Another prominent figure of the previous season is Luis Arraez, current national league batting champion.
04:51 We saw through your social networks that strong training in the offseason.
04:57 How important is that work to be able to be here?
05:02 I think that's where the whole beginning is.
05:06 If you prepare, I think you can't fail at work if you prepare.
05:11 We are not perfect, but as long as we work we will have results.
05:15 If I prepare, I think I stay healthy.
05:19 I create my routine every day, come to the stadium, enjoy this beautiful sport.
05:24 What else to ask for when you have the opportunity and you can take advantage of it.
05:27 What are your goals, your challenges in this 2024 season?
05:32 Many, many. First of all, stay healthy, as I have always said.
05:38 I want to contribute my little grain of sand to help the team pass the playoffs.
05:42 If God gives me the opportunity to win another championship, welcome.
05:46 Stay healthy, which is what I ask the most, and come to enjoy this beautiful sport.
05:51 This is Arepa Power and we enter the countdown of the longest corners in 2023.
06:05 The third longest was hit by Salvador Perez on May 7 at home against the Oakland Athletics.
06:11 In second place is also receiver Francisco Álvarez, who hit this proud 4-foot quadruple on July 4,
06:21 being the longest for a New York Mets player last season.
06:27 And the longest bat for a Venezuelan in 2023 could not be other than the unanimous MVP of the National League,
06:35 Ronald Acuña Jr., who made this ball fly 470 feet.
06:40 And which of the Venezuelans will hit the longest home run in 2024? I want to know, comment it.
06:47 And in this way we start a new season of the Big Show at Arepa Power.
06:52 The invitation is that you are very attentive to each of our publications,
06:57 because you enjoy baseball in the big leagues through Baseball Play.
07:03 By Altuve for the first out of the four.
