In the Dominican on Wednesday night, Pablo Reyes started at third base and went 1-for-5 with a run scored. He played the final two innings on defense at second base. The single by Reyes came against former Pirate Brandon Cumpton. Reyes is hitting .245/.343/.319 in 27 games.

Here’s Reyes scoring his run from first base on a triple from another former Pirate in the game, Yamaico Navarro.

In Venezuela, Elvis Escobar walked the only batter he faced. It was his third straight appearance in which he faced just one batter, and it was his first walk of the winter. Escobar has thrown a total of 17 pitches over the last ten days.

In Puerto Rico, Jerrick Suiter had his best game so far of the young season. He went 2-for-4 with a single, double, walk, two runs scored and an RBI. He is batting .294/.400/.353 through five games.

Jordan Jess made his third appearance and allowed a run on two hits and a hit batter, while recording one out. He also allowed an inherited runner to score. In 2.1 innings, he has given up three runs on three hits and three walks.

In Colombia, Edgar Barrios started at shortstop for the fourth game in a row and went 0-for-4 at the plate. He is hitting .269/.333/.269 through 12 games.

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.
