'GADES ARE HOT: After a 7-4 loss on Wednesday, the Renegades are 21-7 in their last 28 games, sitting at 62-39 overall this season. Hudson Valley has won 14 of their last 17 at home. They finished July 17-5 (.773), the best month for the team since August 1995. The Renegades have secured four straight six-game series victories, including series wins over Brooklyn, Asheville, Rome, and Wilmington.

NEW BEGINNINGS: Following the defeat to Brooklyn on Wednesday, Hudson Valley is 24-13 in the second half, currently in second place in the division. They are 3.5 games behind Greensboro in the North Division with 29 games remaining. With 18 series under their belt in 2025, the Renegades have won nine, split six, and lost three.

SOCAL SOUTHPAW: On Wednesday, Kyle Carr was announced as the South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Month for July. During the month, Carr had a 0.37 ERA, allowing just one run across 24.1 innings. He led the South Atlantic League in ERA during July and was second in MiLB. Opponents hit just .176 against him. The lefty has tossed six-or-more innings seven times this season. Since the beginning of June, his ERA is 1.11 in 57 innings, the fourth-best mark in MiLB. His season ERA mark of 2.30 is the third-best in the South Atlantic League.

ROSTER OVERHAUL: The Renegades have welcomed 10 new position players in the last three days. On Thursday, seven newcomers arrived in Hudson Valley. This includes 2025 5th round pick Core Jackson, who will make his pro debut with the Renegades. 2024 draft selections Tyler Wilson and Joe DelosSantos were called up from Single-A Tampa, along with 2024 Renegade Owen Cobb.

YOUNG ARRIVALS: On Tuesday, the Renegades received three new players, including two 2025 Yankees draft selections making their pro debuts. Yankees third round pick Kaeden Kent makes his pro debut, alongside 10th round selection out of Houston Connor McGinnis. Kent is the son of former All-Star infielder Jeff Kent. Engelth Urena, a 20-year-old catcher, makes his High-A debut after spending the season with Single-A Tampa.

ORG STAR: Over his last 17 games, Dillon Lewis has gone 20-for-61 (.328) with 4 2Bs, 5 HRs, 20 RBIs, and a 1.056 OPS. On Tuesday, Lewis homered for the second straight game, his tenth High-A home run this season. Lewis now has 19 home runs this season in the Yankees organization. Among Yankees farmhands, he is now tied for second in home runs. Spencer Jones' 29 homers leads the way in the organization.

SUMMER SLUGGIN': The Renegades have put together quite the power display since the beginning of July, hitting 26 home runs in 28 games. That mark is the most in the South Atlantic League, leading Greensboro's 24 long balls. Seven Renegades have at least two home runs during the stretch, and ten players have at least one homer.

BEST IN SHOW: The Renegades have the lowest team ERA (2.78) among full-season MiLB teams in 2025. Since the start of the 2021 season, the Renegades own a cumulative 3.51 ERA, the lowest in MiLB among MiLB teams who have played every season.

LIMITING RUNS: The Renegades have now held their opponents to two runs or less an astonishing 50 times this season in 101 games. This means that they have done so in 49% of games in 2025. Hudson Valley has a record of 44-6 when allowing two runs or less, accounting for 71% of their victories and just 16% of their losses.

AIN'T IT GRAND?: With a Dillon Lewis grand slam in the sixth inning on Sunday at Wilmington, the Renegades have hit six grand slams this year in 99 games, the most by the team in the Portal Era when game logs are available online (2005-Present).

OFFENSIVE OUTBURST: Hudson Valley struck for 10 hits in a 10-1 victory over Wilmington on Sunday. Through their first 98 games, the Renegades have 25 games of 10 or more hits and 16 games of 12 or more hits. In 2024, they had a total of 12 games with 12+ hits. They have also scored nine-or-more runs this season 17 times, surpassing their 2024 season total of 14 in half of the games played earlier this campaign. Last Tuesday, the Renegades tied a season-high with 18 hits.

SO LONG: It was announced on Thursday that Jackson Castillo was being promoted to Double-A Somerset. Castillo was a key contributor for the last two seasons, playing 112 games as a member of the Renegades. He notched 30 extra-base hits, drove in 67 runs, and drew 56 walks. Since his promotion to High-A last August, Castillo recorded three games with six-or more RBIs. He leaves the Renegades with a team-leading 23 multi-hit games in 2025.

MIDDLE INNINGS: Between the fourth and seventh innings, Hudson Valley is outscoring opponents 222-136 this season. They are outscoring opponents 64-26 in the seventh inning and 55-40 in the fifth inning.

STARTING STRONG: Starting pitching has been instrumental in 2025. Since June 1, the Renegades starting staff leads MILB with an exceptional 2.22 ERA in 260.0 innings. Since the beginning of June, Kyle Carr ranks fourth in MiLB in ERA (1.11). Through 101 games, Hudson Valley starters have 557 punchouts in 510.0 innings, good for a 10 K/9 clip. Those 557 strikeouts are the second-most of any team in MiLB, trailing only Binghamton (NYM, AA). The staff has also issued just 203 walks, a 3.6 BB/9.

SEASON TURNAROUND: Josh Moylan has raised his season average from .152 on June 24 to .201 currently, also boosting his OPS from .556 to .664. He hit home runs in consecutive games on Sunday and Tuesday, and has also hit safely in nine of his last 11 games. Moylan now has 42 RBIs, the third-most on the team. Since June 17, Moylan has slashed .272/.371/.439 with 19 RBIs and an .810 OPS.

HIGH-A SUBWAY SERIES: Hudson Valley begins a six-game series on Tuesday with the Brooklyn Cyclones, High-A affiliate of the New York Mets. Of the final 31 games of the season, the Renegades will face the Cyclones 12 times. Brooklyn is the only squad that Hudson Valley will see more than once the rest of the season. The two teams split a six-game series in April at Maimonides Park, before the Renegades took five of six from Brooklyn during Independence Week. Brooklyn won the first half in the SAL North with a 46-20 record.

FAREWELL, MY FRIENDS: With a flurry of action from the New York Yankees during the 2025 Trade Deadline, the Renegades said goodbye to four members of their roster. Pitchers Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz were the first to go, heading to Colorado on July 25. RHP Gage Ziehl was sent to Chicago-AL on Wednesday, and INF Parks Harber was dealt to San Francisco on Thursday night. Former 2025 Renegades INF Roc Riggio and LHP Ben Shields were also on the move at the deadline.

SCORING DROUGHT: After averaging 5.5 runs per game through the first two months of 2025, the Renegades offense has cooled down since. They have averaged 4.1 runs per contest since June 1, hitting .234 as a team with a .686 OPS. Through 49 games, they hit .249 with a team OPS of .757.

The Renegades have now scored three runs or less in 43 contests this season, and are 15-28.

THE 'PEN IS MIGHTIER: Hudson Valley's bullpen has been outstanding, recording a 2.70 ERA through 101 games, the best mark in High-A and the second-best in MiLB. The Renegades only trail Pensacola (AA, MIA), who leads the way with a 2.56 mark. Relievers are holding opponents to a .183 opposing average, while striking out 424 batters in 363.1 innings. In 23.1 bullpen innings across the last five games, the unit has allowed two runs on six hits with 30 strikeouts.
