Crew's Arcia among those thriving in winter leagues

It can be argued that Orlando Arcia's impressive showing in last year's Venezuelan Winter League opened the door for his breakthrough 2015 campaign.

The Brewers' No. 1 prospect (No. 12 overall) batted .265/.335/.445 in 55 games for Caribes de Anzoategui, and his seven home runs in that span marked an uptick in power compared to the four home runs he had hit in 127 games during the regular season at Class A Advanced Brevard County.

This past season, Arcia emerged as one of the top prospects in baseball as his bat continued to catch up to his advanced defense.
