Winter Leagues: Ji-Hwan Bae Reaches Base Three Times

Published:

In Australia on Sunday, Ji-Hwan Bae wrapped up week five of the season by going 2-for-4 with a walk. He is hitting .297/.416/.469 in 19 games. Bae has five doubles, two homers, 12 walks and he’s 6-for-6 in stolen bases.

Robbie Glendinning wrapped up a quiet week by going 1-for-4 with a single. He is batting .316/.381/.605 in 20 games. Glendinning ranks seventh in the league in OPS, fourth in slugging and second in both doubles (7) and homers (5).

In Colombia, Francisco Acuna went 0-for-4 in his second playoff game. He was 2-for-4 with a walk in the opener.

Edgar Barrios is off to a quiet start, though his team has won their first two playoff games. He went 0-for-4 on Friday and 0-for-5 with a run scored on Sunday.

In the Dominican, Socrates Brito went 1-for-5 with a two-run double and a run scored. He was 2-for-4 in the playoff opener on Saturday.

In Puerto Rico, Chris Sharpe went 1-for-4 with a single. He is hitting .250/.376/.353 in 24 games. That doesn’t include the home run he hit Saturday, which won’t show up in his stats until that suspended game has been completed.

Yacksel Rios blew a save opportunity on Sunday night. He gave up two runs on three hits and a walk in the ninth inning, with the game-winner coming with two outs. Rios has a 4.15 ERA in 8.2 innings, with a surprisingly high .361 BAA.

In Mexico, Randy Romero finally got some at-bats. He’s been playing in almost every game recently, but only as a late inning replacement, either on the bases or in the outfield. He started in center field on Sunday and went 0-for-2 before leaving for a pinch-hitter. He’s hitting .167 (5-for-30) in 29 games this winter.

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.
