Around the Farm: December 12

Toru Murata

Around the Farm (ATF) takes a quick look at some of the daily performances by Indians prospects. This is a special winter ball version of ATF that recaps all the offseason action by Indians players in the Caribbean Leagues.  The positions listed below are where the player was playing in the game.

Here is the rundown of what Indians players in winter ball did yesterday.

Colombia Winter League

• Giovanny Urshela (3B, Cartagena Tigres): 0-for-3, K. Urshela’s team played a double-header because the game the previous day was postponed. He only played in the first game and did not get a hit, and is now just 9-for-44 at the plate (.205) in 14 games.

Panama Winter League

• Toru Murata (SP, Chiriqui Roneras): 3.0 IP, 5 H, 6 R (4 ER), 4 BB, 1 K, 0 HR. The Panama Winter League is wrapping up league play with their finals series. Murata pitched Game 5 and was a disaster allowing 9 baserunners in 3 innings and gave up 6 total runs. This is by far his worst outing in Panama as during the six week season there he pitched 46.1 innings and had a 2.72 ERA, .222 BAA, 9 walks, and 31 strikeouts.
