The Welland Jackfish have upgraded their rotation for the upcoming Intercounty Baseball League season. 

Former Major League pitcher José Domínguez and ex-Jackfish Euclides Leyer have been signed and should give the club a strong, dependable starting four to go along with returning right-handers Ben Abram and Teodoro Ortega.

“Let’s just say we will have as professional and experienced a starting staff as we have ever had,” Jackfish general manager Jason McKay said.  “Coupled with the young guys we have signed, we should remain very exciting.”

Domínguez joins the Jackfish with four seasons of Major League experience with San Diego, Tampa Bay and the Los Angeles Dodgers where he compiled a 4.82 earned run average and 37 strikeouts.

Domínguez has spent most of his career in the minors, notably in AAA, where he recorded a career 4.34 ERA with 414 strikeouts over 198 games played.

The native of the Dominican Republic joins Welland following a season with the Tigres de Chinandega of the Nicaraguan Winter League.
