Freddy Garc?a, the Escogido Lions slugger, has a good chance at breaking the Dominican winter baseball season home run record of 14 runs in a season. From October 24 to December 20, Garc?a has hit 11 home runs. The Dominican record belongs to Dick Stuart of the Aguilas who in 177 turns at bat set the record during the 1957-58 season. The record is 40 years old. The Escogido team home run record is 13 in 173 turns at bat, set by Ralph Bryant in the 1986-87 season. In the history of Dominican baseball, only 17 players have hit 10 home runs or more in a season, including George Bell, who hit 10 home runs in the 1983-84 season.
