Red Sox Players Shine Among League Leaders in 2025
The Brantford Red Sox wrapped up their 2025 season with several standout performances that placed players among the league’s best across multiple statistical categories. From speed on the basepaths to power at the plate and dominance on the mound, the Red Sox had plenty to celebrate this year.
Tachioka’s All-Around Brilliance
Ren Tachioka emerged as one of the most dynamic players in the league this season. He finished second in batting average at .396, while leading the league in both stolen bases (29) and stolen base percentage—successfully swiping 29 of 30 attempts. His consistency also placed him among the top four in both hits (59) and runs scored (39), making him one of the most well-rounded offensive threats in the league.
Ortega’s Run-Producing Power
Chris Ortega made his presence felt in the middle of the Red Sox lineup, finishing as the league leader in RBIs with 42. He also ranked sixth in home runs (8), proving to be one of the most dangerous run-producers in the league and a reliable bat in clutch situations.
Black’s Toughness and Speed
Brody Black showcased his all-around game with a .323 batting average, good for 14th in the league. His speed added another layer to his game, as he ranked ninth in stolen bases (13). But perhaps most telling of his grit was his league-leading 13 hit-by-pitches, demonstrating his willingness to do whatever it takes to get on base.
Savage’s Resilience at the Plate
Right behind Black in toughness, Andrew Savage ranked second in the league in hit-by-pitches with 10. His ability to reach base, even under tough circumstances, added depth to the Red Sox lineup.
Strong Arms on the Mound
The Red Sox pitching staff also had its share of league leaders.
Connor Irvine finished 10th in ERA (4.06) among pitchers who reached the league’s innings requirement of 52, providing steady and reliable starts throughout the season.
Leandro Mejia was dominant in his appearances, finishing with a league-best ERA of 1.95 among pitchers with at least 25 innings pitched.
Jorge De La Cruz brought pure strikeout power, leading the league with 1.75 strikeouts per inning pitched, showing his ability to overpower hitters every time he took the mound.
Team Speed and Efficiency
As a team, the Red Sox’s speed was a defining strength. They finished second in the league in stolen bases (78) and led the league in stolen base percentage (83%), reflecting both their aggressiveness and efficiency on the basepaths.
The combination of offensive firepower, defensive grit, and pitching dominance allowed the Brantford Red Sox to showcase individual and team excellence throughout the 2025 season, leaving the fans with excitement for the 2026 season.
