Winter League action for the Pittsburgh Pirates prospects over the last two days. Monday only had two games played across winter ball and only one player saw action, so we take a look at the results from Monday and Tuesday below.
Monday
In the Dominican, Liover Peguero went 2-for-5 with two singles and a run scored.
Tuesday
In the Dominican, Liover Peguero went 2-for-4 with his second stolen base. He’s hitting .265 with a .698 OPS in 35 plate appearances.
Jeremy Beasley tossed a scoreless inning on 11 pitches, picking up one strikeout. He has given up four runs in three innings over four appearances.
In Venezuela, Ali Sanchez went 0-for-3 in his third game of the season.
In Mexico, Fabricio Macias went 1-for-4 with a run scored. He’s batting .250 with a .639 OPS
Jared Oliva went 1-for-5 with his first extra-base hit (a double) and two RBIs. He’s hitting .319 with a .653 OPS in 12 games.
The Sydney Blue Sox announced their second Pirates player for the winter. Sammy Siani will join Dylan Shockley as teammates playing under Pirates scout/Sydney manager Tony Harris. They are getting five players from the Pirates, not including Solomon Maguire, who was already signed by Sydney. While I don’t want to spoil the team’s announcements ( I do wish they would hurry up with the news), I can tell you that they are getting a fringe top-30 prospect in the system, and a player from the FCL Pirates will be making quite a jump in his level of competition. All three unnamed players are position players.
