Winter Leagues: Robbie Glendinning Helps Team Australia to Victory

Published:

Winter League and Premier12 action for players from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday night.

In the Premier12 tournament, the match-up of Canada vs Australia had players of interest batting third for each team. Robbie Glendinning helped his team to a 3-1 victory by going 1-for-2 with a single, walk, RBI and run scored. He went 2-for-6 with two walks in his team’s first two games. The RBI last night came on a first inning sacrifice fly. As you can see in the video, he didn’t miss an opposite field home run by much.

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.
