Winter Leagues: Jose Osuna Reaches Base Five Times on Wednesday Night

Published:

An overall slow night of winter ball action, but not much else is going on and Jose Osuna had a big game on offense.

In Venezuela on Wednesday night, Jose Osuna returned to action after the league’s mini break for Christmas. He was back out in right field again for the tenth straight game and he went 4-for-5 with three singles, a double (his sixth of the winter) and a walk, while scoring three runs. Osuna also picked up his first stolen base. He is now hitting .397/.462/.586 through 15 games. He is well short of qualifying for league leaders, but no one with at least 15 games played has a higher OPS in Venezuela.

In Colombia, Carlos Arroyo went 1-for-3 with a single, walk and two RBIs. His team scored 11 runs in the fourth inning, but still needed a walk-off hit to win the game in the ninth. Arroyo is hitting .185/.264/.292 through 22 games.

In Puerto Rico, Jordan Jess faced three batters and allowed two singles, while recording one out. In 12.1 innings over 12 appearances, he has a 5.11 ERA, a .345 BAA and a 10:6 BB/SO ratio.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
