Mieses, from the Dominican Republic, has no big league experience. But his minor league career is solid. His career (9 years) performance was 793 appearances, batting average of 0.243, 140 home runs and 427 RBIs. He hit .271 with 12 home runs and 35 RBIs at Triple-A this season.

At the Tokyo Olympics held last year, he represented the Dominican Republic and helped win a bronze medal. He even pulled off a two-run home run against Oh Seung-hwan in the 8th inning that put a wedge in the game in the semifinal match against Korea.
