RIVER CATS ANNOUNCE 2015 OPENING DAY ROSTER

The Sacramento River Cats are proud to announce the 2015 Opening Day roster. The River Cats open their 16^th season in Sacramento with eight players who have spent time with the affiliate San Francisco Giants, including three with 2014 Postseason experience.

The River Cats roster is headlined by local talent C Andrew Susac and INF John Bowker, as well as Postseason contributors OF Juan Perez and RHP Hunter Strickland. Susac, Perez, and Strickland all made appearances in San Francisco's 2014 World Championship run and will start their seasons in Sacramento. The three players combined for 26 games played in October.

The River Cats will be led by manager Bob Mariano, who enters his fourth season as manager, although his first with Sacramento. In his previous three seasons with the Fresno Grizzlies, Mariano managed big-leaguers Brandon Belt, Joe Panik, Pablo Sandoval, and others. Hitting coach Andy Skeels, pitching coach Dwight Bernard, athletic trainer James Petra, and Strength and Conditioning coach Brad Lawson make up the rest of Sacramento's on-field staff.
