Our Pirates Winter Report highlights one Pittsburgh Pirates prospect each week, then give brief notes from each country playing winter ball. This week we feature infielder Tsung-Che Cheng, who spent this off-season in Puerto Rico.
Tsung-Che Cheng had a successful winter in Colombia last year. He put up a .296/.389/.408 slash line during the regular winter season, then did well in the playoffs, before helping his team to a shocking victory in the Caribbean Series.
The Colombian winter league was perfect for him, because the competition level is about the same as Single-A ball, setting him up for his 2022 season with the Bradenton Marauders.
