Article: New Hampshire Fisher Cats 2025 Season Roster Preview

[Brian Labude]

There's plenty to be excited about in New Hampshire this season.

The New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the Double-A affiliate of the Blue Jays, began their 2025 season on Friday, April 4. Though Opening Day didn't go as planned, their roster is loaded with talent from top to bottom and will provide some exciting baseball from the start of the season through, hopefully, a playoff berth. 

Prospects to Know:
Charles McAdoo leads the way on the hitting side. He brings some huge potential and excitement for Blue Jays fans after being ranked 10th on the Jays Centre Top 20 Prospect list. He smashed his way through the 2024 season, tallying 17 home runs, 27 doubles, and 21 stolen bases. However, after being traded from Pittsburgh to Toronto, his bat fell flat for in New Hampshire. He finished the season with a slash line of .186/.287/.323. He will look to shake off last season's mid-year trade blues and show the big league club what he can do for when he gets the call. 

Jace Bohrofen is in a similar mold to McAdoo and should provide plenty of fireworks after slugging 14 home runs and 27 doubles at High-A in 2024. He's not the baserunning threat that McAdoo is, but he does have decent speed, swiping 10 bases last year as well. 

Dasan Brown will join Bohrofen in the outfield, where he can show off his elite speed (when he's not swiping bags in bunches). He stole 35 bases last year and will look to up that number in 2025. He ran just a .285 on-base percentage after a promotion to Double-A. If he can figure out how to get on base more often, he will be looking at 40 or more stolen bases this year. 

The pitching staff is just as loaded as the lineup. CJ Van Eyk will lead the staff in 2025. He had a rocky time at Double-A in 2024 with a 5.68 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP. Repeating the level should bring a little more success for him. Hopefully he gets back on track and performs more like he did at Low-A in 2021, when he had a 28.3% strikeout rate. 

Joining him will be a feel-good story who goes by the name of Ryan Watson. After playing two seasons of independent baseball, he signed with Toronto in 2024 and didn't disappoint, running a sub-4.00 ERA at both Low-A and High-A. He will surely be a fan favorite in 2025 for Toronto and New Hampshire fans.
