MANCHESTER, NH – On Wednesday, April 2, the Toronto Blue Jays announced the initial New Hampshire Fisher Cats roster for the 2025 season.

Bohrofen and Williams helped steer High-A Vancouver back to the Northwest League finals for the club’s third-consecutive visit in 2024. Bohrofen led the Canadians in total bases (177), doubles (27), home runs (14), RBIs (57), and walks (60), while Williams slashed .289/.362/.476 with an .838 OPS in 77 games in Vancouver last season behind the team’s third-most doubles (20) and second-most runs driven in (50).
12 New Hampshire hurlers return to Manchester in 2025, including starters RHP Devereaux Harrison, RHP Rafael Sanchez, RHP Anders Tolhurst and RHP CJ Van Eyk. Bullpen arms slated to rejoin the Fisher Cats include RHP Ryan Boyer, LHP Jimmy Burnette, RHP Michael Dominguez, RHP Hunter Gregory, RHP Ryan Jennings, RHP Conor Larkin, RHP Jonathan Lavallee and RHP Geison Urbaez.
Right-handers Van Eyk and Dominguez both were once named the Eastern League’s Pitcher of the Week in 2024. Van Eyk allowed one hit in five scoreless innings on May 10 against the Harrisburg Senators behind 64 pitches (43 strikes) and struck out six to earn league honors, while Dominguez fired six hitless/scoreless innings on May 30 in a 6-1 win in Akron with five strikeouts. Harrison led the Fisher Cats in starts (26) and strikeouts (111) in 2024, while Gregory finished with the third-most strikeouts (91) in New Hampshire in 2024 in a team-high 43 appearances.
Two Fisher Cats pitchers are ready for their Double-A debuts in 2025: RHP Alex Amalfi and RHP Ryan Watson. RHP Bobby Milacki, who made his Double-A debut in June 2023, joins the Fisher Cats after signing a minor league concert with Toronto in December 2024.
Amalfi finished behind Sanchez (92) with the second-most strikeouts in Vancouver last season (87) and finished with a 3-1 record in 36 appearances out of the Canadians’ bullpen. After he began the 2024 season on staff with the Frontier League’s Florence Y’alls, Watson struck out 17 batters in 16 1/3 innings in three starts before he signed with Toronto on May 31. Watson punched out 28 batters and walked three in five games – four starts – before he ended 2024 in Vancouver.
The Fisher Cats’ preliminary roster includes 11 returners: C Robert Brooks, INF Alex De Jesus, INF Charles McAdoo, INF Ryan McCarty, INF Eddinson Paulino, INF Josh Rivera, OF Dasan Brown, OF Devonte Brown, OF Gabriel Martinez, OF Yohendrick Piñango and OF RJ Schreck. Of the 11 returning position players, five were acquired by Toronto prior to last summer’s trade deadline (McAdoo (PIT), Paulino (BOS), Rivera (CHC), Piñango (CHC), Schreck (SEA)).
In 99 games in 2024, De Jesus finished with the third-most New Hampshire doubles (19) and the second-most runs batted in (45). The sole return piece in the Justin Turner/Seattle trade, Schreck made quick work in Double-A New Hampshire with five home runs and eight doubles in 29 games and drove in 18 runs behind a .255/.377/.521 slash.
