The Astros Valencia are the defending title holders. They are hosting the Tenerife Marlins on game day one. Additionally Baseball Navarra takes on San Inazio Bilbao, CBS Sant Boi squares off against CB Barcelona and CD Pamplona faces record champion CB Viladecans.
As reigning champions the Astros Valencia are entering the new season as the team to beat. Romulo Sanchez and Lowuin Sacramento are leading the pitching staff. The roster also features Thomas Di Benedetto, Blake Ochoa and Yulman Ribeiro. However they will miss Oscar Angulo, who joined Novara in the Italian Baseball League.
Veterans Leslie Nacar, Richard Montiel and Jose Luis Salazar give veteran experience for the team Tenerife Marlins.
One of the main contenders for Tenerife and Valencia could be CB Barcelona this year. They made the offseason splash of the year with the signing of Zael Honora from city rival CBS Sant Boi. He will form a dominant 1-2 punch on the pitching staff with Jorge Balboa.
Anthony Vizcaya is asked to fill the big footsteps of Honora with CBS Sant Boi. Still the club of manager Candelario Diaz will be among the strongest teams in the league.
For the other four clubs Baseball Navarra, CB Viladecans, CD Pamplona and San Inazio Bilbao they most likely will battle for fifth to eighth place in the standings, hoping for the surprise to trip one of the top four.
