Youth no obstacle for Cuba's Viciedo
Hard-hitting 16-year-old on 60-man provisional WBC roster
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
Playing for Villa Clara in Serie Nacional, the league at the top of the Cuban baseball chain, at first spooked Dayan Viciedo.
But then he turned 16, and everything was all right.
A big leaguer, even if only by Cuban standards, at 15? What in the name of precocious talent is going on here?
Something extraordinary, obviously. Viciedo has been included on Cuba's 60-man provisional roster.
