Cuba’s 24‑man baseball roster for the XV Central American and Caribbean Games in Santo Domingo has been announced. The squad includes three catchers, six infielders, four outfielders and 11 pitchers, with veteran catcher Andrys Pérez set as the starter and Harold Vázquez listed as a utility player. Manager Germán Mesa emphasized the young team's role clarity, saying each player knows his specific duties, especially the pitching staff’s distribution of starters, relievers and closers.
