Here’s how they did during the week from December 10 through December 16:
VENEZUELAN WINTER LEAGUE
Player of the Week – Bruce Pugh, RHP
On the week, Pugh pitched twice and threw 2.2 scoreless innings. He gave up just one hit, walked one and struckout two. He has pitched 13 innings over the course of 15 games for Caribes de Anzoategui. He has given up just one run on eight hits. He’s walked seven and struckout nine. Pugh’s fastball sits in the mid-90s, but his overall Venezuelan numbers do express what we have seen in his career. Although he has generally struckout a batter an inning, he also walks about a batter every other inning.

MEXICAN WINTER LEAGUE
Player of the Week – Chris Colabello, 1B
