Renegades in the Majors

Since their inception in 1994, 163 Hudson Valley Renegades players have gone on to play in Major League Baseball. The first Renegades player to reach MLB was Kevin Brown, a catcher with the inaugural 1994 team. For 30 years, future big leaguers including All-Stars, Gold Glovers, Sliver Sluggers, World Series Champions, Rookies of the Year and an MVP have called Heritage Financial Park home.

Three former Renegades managers, Charlie Montoyo ('98), Edwin Rodriguez ('99), and Matt Quatraro ('06 & '07) have gone on to manage MLB teams after serving in that position with the Gades. Former Renegades catcher Stephen Vogt made his managerial debut in 2024 as the skipper of the Cleveland Guardians.
