Roberto Clemente Professional Baseball League (Puerto Rico)

Criollos de Caguas, a team with three Sox players, had a nice week with a record of 3-2. Kristian Campbell was the highlight of the week, putting together his best stretch of the winter. He played in five games and hit safely in all five, going 6 for 18 (.333) with three doubles and a triple. He drove in four runs and scored four times. Campbell also drew five walks and only struck out three times. After last week where he was only used as a DH, Campbell played left field in three of his five games this past week. One of Campbell's doubles was crushed to center field and looked like it should have been a home run. He has a .404 OBP this winter in 12 games. 

 

Left-hander Jovani Moran had a good week as well, appearing in three games and allowing just one run. He tossed 2 2/3 frames overall with three hits allowed, three strikeouts, and two walks. He has a 1.13 ERA with 11 strikeouts and only three walks in nine games this winter. Wyatt Olds also contributed an inning and did not allow a hit, but gave up an unearned run. He walked one and did not strike anybody out. Lefty Eduardo Rivera made his third start of the winter for Santurce, tossing four innings and allowing two earned runs on three hits. He punched out five and only issued one free pass. He has a 3.60 ERA in 10 innings this winter. Juan Montero made one start for Ponce and went 1 for 3 with a double. Osvaldo Berrios got into one game for Carolina and struggled, surrendering four earned runs and three hits in 2/3 of a frame. He walked one and struck out one.

Dominican Professional Baseball League (LIDOM)

Reidis Sena pitched for the first time since late November, appearing in two games for Licey and allowing just one run in a pair of innings. Overall, this winter, the right-hander has four strikeouts and three walks in 4 1/3 frames to go along with a 4.15 ERA. Right-hander Ryan Watson did not see any action for Licey. Allan Castro played in four games for Este this past week. He went just 1 for 9 at the plate, but the lone hit was his first home run of the winter. In 13 games, Castro is slashing .262/.295/.429.
