HOME COOKING: Hudson Valley finished up a 12-game homestand on Sunday, tied for the team's longest stint at Heritage Financial Park in 2024. The Gades' went 7-5 at home during this period, winning 4 of 6 vs. Aberdeen and splitting a six-game series with Bowling Green. Starters Sebastian Keane and Cam Schlittler highlighted an excellent performance from the pitching staff. The duo combined to allow just 3 earned runs on 6 hits in 12 innings vs. Bowling Green, while striking out 17 batters. Through three starts, Renegades starter Brian Hendry is also yet to allow an earned run through three starts and 11 innings pitched.

SAL NORTH SHOWDOWN: The Renegades have begun a 12-game road trip against the Blue Rocks, playing a six-game series in Delaware this weekend. Wilmington, at 13-8, entered the SAL North Division in first by half a game over Hudson Valley and Greensboro. After two wins for Hudson Valley to begin the series, the Renegades are tied for 1st place in the division with Greensboro. Hudson Valley's road win percentage is the best in the SAL.

THREE TIMES TWO: In Wednesday's 13-10 victory vs. Wilmington, Jared Serna hit three two-run homers, driving in six runs and scoring three runs. Serna is just the third Renegades player since 2005 to hit three home runs in a game, and first since Everson Pereira on Sept. 5, 2021 at Greensboro. It was just the third three-homer game all-time at Frawley Stadium. Serna has now hit all five of his long balls on the road this season. He ranks third in the South Atlantic with those five home runs, and fourth in RBIs with 17.

FRAWLEY STADIUM BIG FLIES: After hitting only 13 home runs in their first 20 games of the season, the Renegades have clobbered eight long balls in the first two games of their series with the Blue Rocks. An incredible 38% of the team's home runs hit in 2024 have been in the last two games, highlighted by Jared Serna's three-homer game on Wednesday, and round-trippers in each game by Jesús Rodríguez.

LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN: With the Renegades leading 3-2 into the seventh on Tuesday, the Renegades tallied nine runs on 10 hits in the frame. It was just the third time since 2005 that Hudson Valley had collected 10 hits in an inning, with the last occurrence coming on Sept. 5, 2021 at Greensboro. The team finished the game with 19 hits, the most they have had in a single game since pounding out 24 hits against Hickory on Aug. 27, 2022. Jared Serna had two RBI hits and the Renegades had two home runs in the inning.

FEELING EXTRA: In the massive rally in the top of the seventh on Tuesday night, the Renegades set a franchise record with seven extra-base hits in the inning (4 doubles, 1 triple, 2 home runs). The team had collected five XBH in a single inning five times previously, with the last coming on 4/30/2023 at Greenville. Since 2005, only two Yankees affiliates have had seven XBH in a single inning, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on 6/29/2021 at Lehigh Valley and Charleston on 6/3/2011 against Rome.

THE 'PEN IS MIGHTIER: The Renegades bullpen collectively sports a 2.26 ERA (27 ER/107.2 IP) this season, the best mark in MiLB, just in front of Rocket City. (2.28 -- LAA, AA).

FREE RUNS: Renegades opponents have issued the team an astounding ten bases-loaded walks this season, which is tied for 1st in the minors. On Wednesday night, Wilmington RHP Marquis Grissom, Jr. issued two bases-loaded walks in the top of the 11th to help the Renegades to a 13-10 win.

LIMITING HITS & RUNS: Hudson Valley pitchers have been on a roll early on, and have allowed only 123 hits through 22 games. The Renegades have allowed the fewest hits in MiLB, one less than Spokane (COL, A+). Incredibly, Amarillo (AZ, AA) has allowed a staggering 232 hits through 23 games, most among all non-AAA teams. The team's 2.75 ERA is the best mark in High-A, and fifth-best among all MiLB teams.

OVER A DECADE OF SUCCESS: With a 70-62 (.530) record in 2023, the Hudson Valley Renegades recorded their 11th consecutive season with an above .500 record (since 2012). During that span, the team has won two league championships (2012 and 2017), seven playoff appearances (12, 14, 16-19, 23), and five league championship series appearances (12, 16-18, 23). Including their 9-6 start to 2024, among teams in affiliated baseball with at least 800 games, the Renegades have the best winning percentage (.576) in MiLB.

FINISHING STRONG: Over his last 14 games of the 2023 regular season, Jesús Rodríguez went 19-for-53 (.358) with two doubles, a triple, two home runs, 9 RBIs, and seven runs scored. Rodríguez has carried that success into the 2024 season by reaching base safely in fourteen of his first eighteen games. He is currently batting .325 with three home runs and 10 RBIs with a .899 OPS on the young season, and already has nine multi-hit games, the most on the team. On Wednesday vs. Wilmington, Rodriguez was 4-for-5 with a home run and was on base 5 times. His 26 hits in 2024 rank 2nd in the South Atlantic League in that category.

VZ POP: Omar Martínez has quickly built on his strong season in the Florida State League with Single-A Tampa in 2023. The Renegades backstop has a .388 OBP and a .859 OPS through 19 games. Martinez has reached base safely in all but four of his appearances, and has at least one hit in 13 of 19 games. On Wednesday vs. Wilmington, Martinez hit his fourth home run of the season in a 13-10 win. The 22-year-old's four home runs are tied for the fourth most in the SAL. Last year, Martinez was third among Florida State League hitters with 18 home runs, and his 35 extra-base hits ranked sixth.

MIDWEST REINFORCEMENTS: Jace Avina debuted with the Renegades on April 17 after being traded to New York for Jake Bauers in November from Milwaukee. The 20-year-old has quickly made a big impact for the Renegades, off to a 13-for-44 (.295) start with two home runs, five walks and six runs scored and a .915 OPS in twelve games. On Tuesday night at Wilmington, the Sparks, Nevada native had a 3-for-6 outing, featuring his second home run of the season, two doubles, and two RBIs. Avina has also looked excellent defensively in the outfield, throwing out Ryan Higgins at third on a beautiful outfield assist from center vs. Aberdeen. The Spanish Springs High School graduate was the Arizona Complex League MVP in 2022.

INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH: The Hudson Valley Renegades and the Bhutan Baseball & Softball Association have partnered to present Bhutan Night on August 20 at Heritage Financial Park. The team is currently fundraising to bring over several Bhutanese baseball players for baseball and cultural enrichment tour of the Hudson Valley and New York.
