Perspective
Enríquez, who plays third base for Isla de la Juventud in the Cuban National Series, led the league in batting average and slugging percentage in the 2005-06 season, at .447 and .690, respectively. Enríquez is a roster fixture at third base for the Cuban national baseball team.
He holds National Series records for hits (152) and doubles (35) in a season (1999, 90 games), and was part of Cuba's gold medal-winning team at the 2004 Summer Olympics and the second place team at the 2006 World Baseball Classic. He has one brother and one sister.
Enríquez was left off of Cuba's roster for the 2000 Olympics, with some speculating fear of defection and others opining that it was due to Enríquez's youth (still just 21 years old) and lack of experience in international tournaments relative to some of the other available options. He hit .353/.451/.595 in the 2000-2001 Serie Nacional.
On June 13, 2013, Enríquez signed with the Piratas de Campeche of the Mexican League. In seven appearances for Campeche, he batted .240/.321/.240 with two RBI and three walks.[2] Enríquez was released by the Piratas on June 24.
In 2017, while playing for Vegueros de Pinar del Río, Enríquez collected his 2000th professional hit.[3][1]
