Before he became a slick infield-
er with surprising power for the
Angels this season, Luis Rengifo
spent an offseason honing his craft
by playing competitively in his na-
tive Venezuela.
The months he spent after his
2017 minor league campaign work-
ing with Navegantes del Magalla-
nes of the Venezuelan Professional
Baseball League preceded a break-
out 2018 season. Once acquired by
the Angels in a trade, he zoomed
from high-A Inland Empire to
triple-A Salt Lake. He played 46 of
his 127 games at the highest minor
league level, impressing Angels
coaches and front office members
with his speed, defensive prowess
and previously latent pop. He
made enough progress to earn the
Angels’ confidence and become a
major league player in 2019.
At 22 years old, Rengifo is not a
finished product. He has struggled
at times at the plate, causing his
walk-to-strikeout ratio to plummet
from 1.00 last year to 0.49 in 92 MLB
games. He still makes mental mis-
takes in the field, and his 12 errors
lead the team.
He wants to buff out those
rough edges this offseason and re-
turn to the Venezuelan league he
credits with helping him take a
step forward in his development.
“It’s so different from here,”
Rengifo said in Spanish. “They’re
intense. The fans will crucify you if
you make an error. They say all
kinds of things. And they don’t let
you forget it, either. You learn a lot
in the winter league. I thought it
helped me arrive ready for spring
training [in 2018] and just keep that
same level of play.”
Any hope the Angels rookie had
of playing this winter for his home-
town team evaporated last week.
MLB responded to President
Trump’s executive order prohib-
iting Americans from doing busi-
ness with the Venezuelan
government by banning its players
from participating in the Venezue-
lan winter league.
The announcement made
sense to Rengifo and countrymanJose Suarez, the Angels rookie
pitcher born in the same munici-
pality as Rengifo. Long-standing
political turmoil has made playing,
let alone living, in their native
country a dangerous proposition
for them and their families.
Catcher Wilson Ramos, who is now
with the New York Mets, was kid-
napped and held for ransom in No-
vember 2011. The mother of Pitts-
burgh Pirates catcher Elias Diaz
was returned safely after being
held hostage for three days in 2018.
A more gruesome situation af-
fected the Angels this winter: In-
fielder Luis Valbuena died in a De-
cember car crash that Venezuelan
authorities said was caused by
criminals who wanted to rob the
vehicle’s occupants who included
Cardenales de Lara teammate Jo-
se Castillo, who also died in thewreck, and former major league
player Carlos Rivero. However, au-
thorities did not suggest the crimi-
nals knew baseball players were in
the car.
“There’s so much insecurity
there,” said Suarez, 21. “So much
travel, danger. What happened to
Valbuena is in the back of our
minds, too. I get that part.”
But losing the option of further-
ing skills in the place they’re most
comfortable was no less disap-
pointing. Suarez has never played
winter ball, but he has learned from
others how helpful it can be to gain
experience in a high-stakes setting.
“The environment is great,”
Suarez said. “It helps you become
more confident. It helps you be-
come a little more intelligent, too,
because you’re learning more
about the game in your own lan-guage. And you don’t want to em-
barrass yourself in front of the fans,
so you have to be extra careful to
play your best.”
Suarez, who has thrown a com-
bined 90^1 ⁄ 3 innings between the ma-
jor leagues and triple A this season,
will rest his arm during the off-
season. Rengifo was not permitted
to reprise his role with Magallanes
last year. The Angels haven’t deter-
mined whether Rengifo will play
elsewhere this winter.
He hopes he does.
“I want to keep preparing my-
self. I don’t want to stop playing be-
cause I know this isn’t forever,” said
Rengifo. “The more reps you play,
the more you grow and the better it
is for you. ... I need to keep playing,
at least a month. After that I’ll be
fine. But, like with everything, I just
gotta wait.”Venezuela out for Angels players
MLB banned players from
participating in country’s
winter league in response
to Trump’s executive order.
