Brantford Red Sox Shine in All-Star Game Selections

The Brantford Red Sox are making waves as the All-Star Game rosters are revealed, with four team members earning spots on Team South. Leading the charge is Christian Ortega, named a starter thanks to his powerful presence at the plate. Ortega has been a consistent force, bringing both leadership and production to the lineup. In the IBL Summer 2025 season, he’s batting .344 with 5 home runs and 23 RBIs across 23 games, showcasing exactly why he’s earned his place among the league’s elite hitters.

Joining him as reserves are Ren Tachioka and Aidan Armitage. Tachioka, an outfielder with a knack for clutch hitting, is currently batting an impressive .420 through 21 games, with 34 hits, 8 doubles, and 20 runs scored. His speed and precision have made him a nightmare for opposing pitchers.

Armitage, a right-handed pitcher, has shown flashes of brilliance on the mound. With 22.2 innings pitched this season, he’s recorded 17 strikeouts, and continues to be a reliable arm out of the bullpen.

Rounding out the Red Sox All-Star presence is Emmet, who’s been named bat boy for Team South. His enthusiasm and dedication make him a beloved figure in the dugout, and his inclusion in the festivities is a nod to the team’s strong sense of community.

With Ortega’s power, Tachioka’s consistency, Armitage’s grit, and Emmet’s heart, the Red Sox are well-represented—and Brantford fans have every reason to be proud.
