0
With three leagues going on, a few players had big performances both on the mound and at the plate. This recap covers seven Sox players that saw action this past week.

Roberto Clemente Professional Baseball League (LBPRC/Puerto Rico)

Young lefty Eduardo Rivera had another good week on the mound for Santurce. He started one game and went five innings, surrendering just five hits and one earned run. He punched out five and walked one. Rivera now has a 1.23 ERA in 14 2/3 innings this winter. Brian Van Belle was also terrific in his lone start of the week, tossing five shutout innings. He only allowed one hit, struck out five, and did not issue a free pass. His ERA lowers to 1.93 in 14 innings this winter. 

Mickey Gasper had a very productive week at the plate, reaching base 10 times in five games. He went 4 for 15 with three singles, a triple, five walks, a hit-by-pitch, four RBIs, and four runs scored. Juan Montero got into just one game, going 1 for 2 with a single. 

Dominican Winter League (LIDOM)

Enmanuel Valdez (pictured) only had two hits this past week, but he made them count. He tripled and drove in a run during his first game of the week. In his next game, he pinch-hit with the bases loaded in the ninth inning down by one run and blasted a go-ahead grand slam. After that, he went 0 for 8 but drew three walks and got hit by a pitch. Bryan Gonzalez pinch-hit in one game and went 0 for 1 with a strikeout. 

Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP)

Bryan Mata made three appearances this past week for Magallanes, two of them being scoreless outings. Overall, he tossed 2 2/3 innings and gave up just one earned run. He surrendered four hits, did not walk anybody, and struck out three.
