Published:

A recap of Saturday night’s action from around winter ball for the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was a slow night, as Puerto Rico has been shut down for most of this week due to COVID, while there was just one game scheduled in the Dominican.

In Colombia, Tsung-Che Cheng went 3-for-5 with two runs, two RBIs and a stolen base. He is now hitting .317/.391/.427 in 19 games, with 17 runs scored and six steals.

Francisco Acuna went 0-for-3 with a walk. He’s now batting .167/.286/.167 in ten games.

In Mexico, Jared Oliva had an 0-for-4 night. He’s now hitting .236 with a .655 OPS in 27 games.

Randy Romero went 2-for-3 with a sacrifice bunt and his 15th stolen base. He is hitting .299 in 63 games, with a .700 OPS. Romero is second in the league with 78 hits, three behind the league leader.

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.
