Viceido, a top Cuban baseball player, has defected to the United States in the latest move by a promising young athlete to abandon the communist-ruled island. The 19-year-old third baseman from Cuba's central Villa Clara province, left his homeland late last month and has settled in south Florida, local media said on Sunday.
