Winnipeg Goldeyes News Release
WINNIPEG, MB - The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Thursday of outfielder Roby Enríquez.
The 27-year-old spent the last two seasons in the Arizona Diamondbacks' system, reaching the Class-AA level with the Texas League's Amarillo Sod Poodles in 2022 and 2023. In 136 games in Arizona's chain, Enríquez hit .290 with 27 doubles, eight home runs, and 65 runs batted in.
A native of Carolina, Puerto Rico, Enríquez made his professional debut with the Boise Hawks of the Pioneer League - a Major League Baseball Partner League - in 2021 after two seasons at Indiana State University (Terre Haute, Indiana).
Enríquez also has experience playing in the Puerto Rican Winter League and has twice represented the island in the Caribbean Series, where he was a teammate of numerous Major League veterans.
"I was made aware of Roby last season while I was with Cleburne and unfortunately, I didn't have the roster space to pursue him at the time but I am glad I had that opportunity this off season," said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins. "He's got a lot of good baseball ahead of him and it is clear we just signed a very good hitter. He has put up very respectable numbers at the Double A level and we expect that to carry over for us this season."
Winnipeg now has 18 players under contract for the 2024 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 30 players during spring training, which begins May 1.
