Cuban pitcher Néstor Cortés has reported to the Milwaukee Brewers' spring training camp, where he will be playing for the 2025 Major League Baseball season. According to journalist Francys Romero on Facebook, his arrival is significant because no Cuban-born pitcher has played an official game with the Brewers since 2012. The last Cuban pitcher to do so was right-hander Liván Hernández.
At 30 years old, Cortés is transitioning from his time with the New York Yankees and is eager to regain his top form in Milwaukee's rotation. Known for his All-Star experience and effective pitching style, the left-hander aims to provide depth and stability to a pitching staff that has postseason potential.
