New Hampshire Fisher Cats News Release


MANCHESTER, NH - On Friday, October 24, the Toronto Blue Jays released their 2025 World Series roster, which features 11 former Fisher Cats across the listed players and staff. John Schneider, who played for New Hampshire as a catcher and eventually was named the Eastern League's 2018 Manager of the Year on the way to the Fisher Cats' second league title, has the big-league Blue Jays in the final series in his third year as manager.

After missing action in the American League Championship Series, shortstop Bo Bichette is the lone addition of former Fisher Cats now on the World Series roster. 2025 ALCS MVP Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was named MLB Pipeline's Hitter of the Year in 2018 after hitting .402 with a 1.120 OPS in 61 games with New Hampshire.
