I could just include two videos of home runs here and it would be a decent article for winter content, but I’ll do slightly more. In a doubleheader yesterday in Australia, played against two different teams, Robbie Glendinning homered in both games. In game one, he went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run homer. Here’s the home run:
Remember my tweet yesterday showing Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Robbie Glendinning making an outstanding defensive play and I said that he's more than just a power bat? He wanted to remind you today that he is still a power bat… https://t.co/hu39hxf5OK

In game two he went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer. He was also hit by a pitch and scored a second run. He’s hitting .300/.417/.533 through nine games. Here’s the second home run. As a side note, Glendinning has the only two homers hit at that stadium so far during this three-team weekend (four games through Saturday).
This is Robbie Glendinning. He plays shortstop in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. He hits dingers. I share video of his homers. We make a good team. https://t.co/HDMKyKl2sz

Bligh Madris went 0-for-3 as opposition for Glendinning’s team in the first game. He is hitting .217/.250/.391 in eight games.
In Mexico, Randy Romero went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts before leaving for a pinch-hitter. He’s 1-for-10 in four semi-finals games.
In the Dominican, none of the four Pirates played, but Aguilas Cibaenas avoided elimination by winning 9-3 on Saturday. There will be a game six in the series tonight.
More winter news either tomorrow or Tuesday morning.
