BLUECLAW HOMECOMING: The Hudson Valley Renegades return home for thier first homestand since the All-Star break. The 'Gades take on the Jersey Shore BlueClaws, High-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, for the third of meetings in 2026. It's also the second and final meeting at Heritage Financial Park. The Renegades are 6-6 agianst the BlueClaws this season and 4-2 at home.

FIRST HALF FLOW: The Renegades had a rollercoaster of a first half to the 2026 season. After the first two series of the year, the 'Gades found themselves in fifth in the SAL North, but they worked their way to the top spot in the division going into May. However, Hudson Valley then went just 9-18 in the second month of the season, dropping it to fourth in the division. While the Renegades couldn't recover to make a push for the top spot, they did find more of their offense, averaging over 6.0 runs per game across their final series in the first half.

CHASING .500: The Renegades have not been at the .500 mark overall this season since 5/21. Further, the Renegades have not been above .500 since 5/14. However, the 'Gades have been on the prowl, closing in on the .500 mark overall this season. They are 16-14 in the second half, 46-48 overall, and they've been within a couple games of .500 since the first game of their last series at Wilmington.

100 HOMERS: Hudson Valley reached the 100 home run mark on 7/26 at Wilmington. The 'Gades have reached that mark in five of their last six seasons, with 2025 being the only outlier. The Renegades will surpass their 2024 home run total with one more this season, but they need 30 more to surpass their 2022 total. The most home runs they've had in a season in that six-year stretc his 156 in 2021.

YES OFFENSE: Since Wednesday, June 10, the Renegades have the fourth-best batting average in the SAL. They are hitting .279/.367/.453 as a team. They also have the ninth-best OPS in the SAL over that stretch at .820. Additionally, the 'Gades are averaging 5.9 runs per game since June 10th.

THE 10/20 CLUB: Infielders Roderick Arias and Core Jackson have both hit at least 10 HR and stolen 20 bases this season, making them two of six players in franchise history in the 10/20 club, with all members joining since 2022. Trey Sweeney (14 HR, 29 SB) was the charter member in 2022, while Ben Cowles (10 HR, 23 SB) and Spencer Jones (13 HR, 35 SB) joined in 2023. Roc Riggio (11 HR, 27 SB in 2024) was the most-recent member to join the group before this year. Arias and Jackson are also just one stolen base away from 30 on the season. The Renegades have not had a player with 30 steals in a season since Spencer Jones stole 35 in 2023

WAPPINGERS BOMBERS: The Renegades have five players with double-digit home runs this season (Kyle West, 17; Josh Moylan, 13; Core Jackson, 12; Roderick Arias, 12; and Eric Genther, 10). In 2025 only Dillon Lewis (13) reached double-digit homers, and had five players reach double figures in 2024.

20+ TEAM: Four Renegades have worked on-base streaks of at least 20 games. C Eric Genther was the first to do so when he reached base in the first 21 games that he played this season. Then, Roderick Arias, Kaeden Kent, and Wilson Rodriguez all crested the 20-game on-base streak mark in the month of July. Arias currently has the longest on-base streak of the four at 23, and Eric Genther is the only Renegade to achieve the feat twice this season.

CARDIAC 'GADES: On 7/6 and 7/8, the Renegades had back-to-back walk-off winners for the second time this season, with the first occasion coming on 4/21 and 4/22 against Brooklyn. In April, both walk-off hits were home runs (one from Kaeden Kent and one from Kyle West). In July, the first was a three-run walk-off homer, and the second was a walk-off error committed by Rome after Enmanuel Tejeda pulled a ball down the first base line to bring home Kyle West.

RUNNING WILD: Renegades opponents have stolen 246 bases this season, and are 254-for-299 (84.9%) on stolen base attempts this season. That is already the most steals allowed by the Renegades in a season in franchise history, surpassing the mark of 226 from 2025. Hudson Valley is allowing an average of 2.70 steals per game.

SHUT IT DOWN: Franyer Herrera and Rory Fox have each thrown complete game shutouts (7 inn.) for the Renegades this season. Fox's came on 5/21 (G1) at Brooklyn, and Herrera's came on 6/28 (G1) at Bowling Green. They became the first Renegades teammates to throw complete game shutouts since 2009 when Alex Colome and Jason McEachern did so. There have been five complete game shutouts thrown in MiLB this season of at least 7.0 innings, and the Renegades are the only team who have two The Renegades have thrown three CG SHO of 7.0-or-more innings since becoming a Yankees affiliate in 2021, with Kyle Carr (7/2/25 (G2) vs Brooklyn) being the other pitcher to accomplish the feat.

RAM ROD: Roderick Arias saw his team-high 23-game on-base streak come to an end on 7/4. During the stretch, he was one of the hottest hitters in the SAL, batting .400/.440/.700 (34-for-85) with 18 R, 6 2B, 7 HR, 21 RBI, 6 BB, and 24 K. The stretch raised his season OPS 195 points (.559 to .754). Arias also had 12 multi-hit games during the streak, including multi-hit performances in six of his last 11 games played spanning from late June to early July. Arias is the second Renegade to work an on-base streak of 20-plus, following Eric Genther who had a team-high 21-game streak.

WORKING DEEP: Rory Fox, Jack Cebert and Luis Serna have all recorded multiple starts on 7.0-or-more IP for Hudson Valley this season. The Renegades are the only team in MiLB with three pitchers with multiple starts of 7.0-or-more innings pitched.

BULLPEN BEAUTIES: The Renegades bullpen put together a strong two series before the All-Star break. Relievers finished the week with a 4-3 record and a 3.64 ERA across 47.0 IP. Additionally, they struck out 66 batters and walked just 29. They did not allow a run to score in 16.2 IP across three games against Rome. This season, the Renegades' bullpen has the second-lowest ERA (4.01) and the lowest WHIP (1.34) in High-A.

NO DOUBLES DEFENSE: The Renegades have turned the fewest double plays in Minor League Baseball this season (39). The teams with the second fewest turned this year, the Columbus Clingstones (ATL, AA) and Lakeland Flying Tigers (DET, A) have turned 52. Hudson Valley is on pace to turn only 56 double plays this season, which would be the fewest of any full-season team in a non-shortened season since 2005 (excludes 120 game 2021 season).

GO WEST, YOUNG MAN: Renegades 1B Kyle West has clubbed a team-leading 17 home runs this season, the most by a Hudson Valley player since Tyler Hardman tied the franchise record with 22 in 2022. West's 17 long balls this year are already tied for the third-most in a single season by a Renegades player with Josh Breaux. West trails only Hardman and Dan Grummitt (22, 1999) in the category.

HOMER HAPPY: The Renegades have been tearing the cover off of the baseball since June. In their first series of June at Frederick, the Renegades clubbed 12 home runs in the series, about 27.3% of their season total at the time (12-of-44). The last time the Renegades hit at least 12 home runs in a single series was 7/25-7/30/2023 at Hickory when Hudson Valley hit 19 HR. It is the first time hitting at least a dozen home runs in a series at Heritage Financial Park since 9/7-9/11/2021 vs Brooklyn, when they hit 14 HR in a seven-game series. The Renegades have hit 68 homers in their last 50 games which is 68.0% of their season total of 100 home runs. They have hit a homer in 32 of their last 44 games.

ER-YAY: The Renegades boast the second-best ERA in High-A (4.19). With offense exploding across the minors, the 'Gades were one of just a handful of teams to have a sub-4.00 ERA for the first eight weeks of the season. However, their ERA jumped above 4.00 on 5/29 after Bowling Green scored 13 runs. The Renegades have led the SAL in ERA in four straight seasons (2022-25), including a 2.82 mark in 2025 which was the lowest team ERA in MiLB since 2019. Additionally, the Renegades have the lowest WHIP in High-A (1.30), and they have struck out a league-high 981 batters this season.

TAKING MANY FOR THE TEAM: Renegades C Eric Genther was hit by a pitch on 7/23 to extend his High-A lead in HBPs to 22. He's currently in a four-way tie for most HBPs in MiLB. He became the Renegades all-time career HBP leader on 7/4, surpassing the previous high of 18 set by Cole Gabrielson. Through only 57 games played, Genther broke the Renegades single-season record for HBP, which belonged to Robby Price (2010) and Ryder Mathias (2005).
