Hickory, NC - The Texas Rangers have announced the Crawdads' 2025 break camp roster that will head to Hickory in the coming days.
The pitching staff will have four players returning to Hickory after previous stints with the team. Nick Lockhart, who pitched for the Crawdads in 2023 but missed the entirety of last season with an arm injury, will return to the mound. Also returning are Brock Porter, Luke Savage, and Kai-Noa Wynyard. Rounding out the right handers are Ismael Agreda, J'Briell Easley, Brooks Fowler, Eric Loomis, Aneudis Mejia, Alberto Mota, Kamdyn Perry, Caden Scarborough, and Michael Valverde. The four lefties on staff are Angel Anazco, Thomas Ireland, Mason Molina, and Gastonia-born Daulton Pence.
The roster will be rounded out with 13 position players. The three catchers are Beycker Barroso, Ben Hartl, and Jesus Lopez.
