Erisbel Arruebarrena, born in 1990, was a Cuban professional baseball player who played as a position player in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Dodgers during a brief stint from 2014 to 2014. Arruebarrena made his MLB debut on May 23, 2014, and he appeared in a total of 22 games throughout his career. Known for his defensive skills, he showcased versatility but struggled offensively, finishing his career with a batting average of .195, accumulating 8 hits, 4 RBIs, and no home runs.
Arruebarrena's journey to the major leagues was marked by the growing interest in international talent during the early 21st century, especially from Cuba, where many players sought to establish careers in MLB. Despite his limited playing time, he represented a part of the wave of players who transitioned from Cuba to the MLB, contributing to the increasing diversity and talent pool in the league. After his time with the Dodgers, Arruebarrena's professional career continued outside of MLB, but he remains a notable figure for his brief impact during a transformative era in baseball.
