Several 2016 Storm Chasers players continued their strong starts in winter ball play this week, and are at or near the top in several statistics. Pitchers Jonathan Dziedzic and Luke Farrell have proven to be a solid dynamic duo in Tigres del Licey's rotation, while infielder Ramon Torres remains at the top in several Dominican Winter League hitting categories.

The two hurlers entering Tuesday play have combined for a 3-0 record and 0.95 ERA (3 ER/28.1 IP) in six total starts. Each has yielded ten hits and walked five, while the southpaw Dziedzic has fanned ten batters to Farrell's seven. The lefty did not allow an earned run over 5.1 frames on November 5 to earn his second victory, while Farrell earned his first win the next day after relinquishing two earned runs in five innings of work, which included four punchouts. Dziedzic currently ranks tied for first in the DWL in wins (two) and third in earned-run average (0.63). Farrell, meanwhile, ranks fifth in ERA (1.29).
