Around the Farm: January 4

Ryan Battaglia

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.

Australian Baseball League

• Andrew Campbell (LF, Brisbane Bandits): 1-for-5, 2B, K. The ABL kicked off their playoff action on Wednesday night, and after being out of action for almost 4 weeks Campbell has been back in the lineup the last week for Brisbane. He has hit in 6 straight games since being inserted back into the lineup on December 29^th though is only 7-for-25 during that stretch.
• Ryan Battaglia (C, Brisbane Bandits): 1-for-4, 2B, RBI, 2 K, E. Brisbane played two very young and inexperienced players in their first playoff game with both Campbell and Battaglia in the lineup. While Battaglia was productive with a double and RBI, he had a key throwing error in the bottom of the 6^th inning that resulted in the last run Perth would score until they got a walkoff run in the 12^th inning.
