Sandy Alcántara Montero is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball. He signed with the St. Louis Cardinals as an international free agent in 2013 and made his MLB debut with them in 2017.
Meet Yorlin Alcantara?
Currently seven years old, Alcantara’s own son is named Yorlin Sadiel, a combination of his own name and that of his wife Yorleni, with whom he has been in a relationship since they were 13 years old.
After signing Alcantara to a five-year, $56 million contract extension, the Marlins’ future is substantially more solid.
Despite the long-term stability, Alcantara’s development into an All-Star has included lessons about the frailty of life.
Sandy’s mother Francisca Montero died in July after a long battle with lung cancer. Alexander Alcantara, Alcantara’s younger brother, was killed in a motorbike accident in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in 2018.
Despite being just 26 years old, Alcantara has the weight of a much older person. In spite of his meteoric rise to become one of the game’s top pitchers, he remains constant in his resolve to provide for his family.
