Published:

Friday was a typical busy day for Pittsburgh Pirates in Australia, with five players seeing action. We also saw playoff action from Puerto Rico and Colombia.

Australia

Ernny Ordonez went 1-for-3 with his second home run. He had two runs, a walk, an RBI and his fourth stolen base. He’s now hitting .283/.328/.383 in 34 games.

Jase Bowen went 2-for-4 with his fifth double. He also picked up an outfield assist. He’s now hitting .241/.303/.361 in 30 games.

Dylan Shockley went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. He’s now batting .221/.324/.379 in 31 games.

Jesus Castillo went 2-for-4 with two singles and an RBI. He now has a .143/.236/.173 slash line in 30 games.

Sammy Siani has been the best Pirates player in Australia by far, but everyone else had a good day on Friday, while he had a rough day, going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts and an error. He’s now hitting .286/.353/.504 in 34 games. As a side note, former Pirates prospect Robbie Glendinning skipped over him on the OPS leaderboard yesterday.

Tsung-Che Cheng was used as a pinch-hitter on Friday, walking with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, as his team lost 6-5. He is 3-for-9 with two walks in five playoff games.

Colombia

Andres Alvarez went 0-for-4, but his team won 6-1 to avoid elimination. He is 3-for-11 with a walk in three playoff 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.
