For Panama, they have some big league hitting in Gilberto Sandobel (.324 AVG, 6 HR) and Jose Delgado (.263 AVG, 13 HR), but their main major league names are on the pitching end with starter Santiago Hernandez who went 10-7 with a 3.96 ERA a year ago, and reliever Luis Manuel who put up a 2.17 ERA in 49.2 innings. They also have Alejandro Toledo in the bullpen who saved 28 games and had a 1.98 ERA closing for Saitama. If the pitching stays solid they're the likeliest challengers to the seeded nations.
