Winter Leagues: Stetson Allie Reaches Base Three Times in Win

Published:

Sunday is usually a slow day in winter ball, but five Pittsburgh Pirates players saw action.

In Venezuela, Ramon Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a walk and run scored. He is 4-for-14 in the first four games and has been the DH in each of the last three games after catching the opener.

Jose Osuna went 0-for-4 and is now 1-for-12 on the season. After being used as a DH in his first two games, he played his first game at first base.

Matt Nevarez came on in relief in the sixth inning with two outs and the bases loaded and he gave up a grand slam to the first batter he faced. He retired the side on a ground out, then stayed on for the seventh inning. After hitting the first batter, Nevarez got a strikeout and a double play.

In Mexico, Stetson Allie singled in his first at-bat of the game. After grounding out in the fourth and striking out in the fifth, Allie reached base on a hit-by-pitch. In the eighth inning with runners on first and third, Allie drew a walk to load the bases. Despite reaching base three times, he did not figure into the scoring during his team’s 4-2 victory. Allie committed a ninth inning error that didn’t affect the score. Allie had a walk and a double in the season opener.

Dean Anna went 1-for-4 with a single, walk, run scored and RBI.

In other winter league news, the Adelaide Bite of the Australian Baseball League, have announced that pitcher Nick Hutchings will play for them this upcoming season. The 18-year-old Hutchings spent the year in the GCL, where he posted a 4.53 ERA in 47.2 innings over 12 starts.

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.
