Cuban SS Mario Oliva has arrived in the Dominican Republic and is currently going through the free-agent process.
A Havana native, Oliva was named MVP of the 2025 Cuban U-15 final, going 10-for-6 with a .600 batting average.
Oliva has an elite bat that pairs with tremendous athletic upside, along with a fluid and explosive swing. He is expected to showcase his tools in front of MLB organizations soon.

Hard to argue that getting bigger and stronger over the last 15 years hasn’t helped his longevity
Baseball players: go lift & get STRONG!
