"We are very happy to see another young man leave for baseball in the United States. Children grow up with that goal, with the dream of reaching the Major Leagues and well, this is the first step for Darian," said Miguel Flores.

"Thanks to the opportunity given by the Houston Astros and well, as I mentioned, he will try to follow in Urquidy's footsteps who also came out of this organization, we saw him grow and why not see Darian succeed in the Major Leagues in a few years."
