St. Cloud Rox News Release


St. Cloud, MN - The 2020 St. Cloud Rox roster has been finalized for the upcoming season that begins on Wednesday, July 1st.

The roster features 12 returning players from the 2019 Rox squad that won over 40 games and claimed the second half championship of the Great Plains West Division. Last season's Rox MVP Jordan Barth (Augustana), a Rocori High School graduate, comes back for his second season with the team. He set five single-season franchise records in 2019 that included hits (99), doubles (25), total bases (144), extra-base hits (32) and games played (73).

Also returning to the Rox are two important pitchers from the 2019 season in Trevor Koenig (St. Cloud State) and RJ Martinez (Minot State). Koenig, who was a midseason and postseason Northwoods League All-Star, was named the team's Pitcher of the Year following a dominant season on the mound. The St. Cloud product tied the Rox single-season win record with seven and had a 1.35 ERA, one of the best in the entire Northwoods League. Martinez, who tied with Koenig for a team-high 51 strikeouts, won six starts a season ago and was a midseason and postseason Northwoods League All-Star.

Garett Delano (Mercer) will also be back with the Rox for this season following a tremendous 2019 campaign. The primary clean-up hitter in 2019 hit .320 and set a new franchise single-season record for RBIs after driving in 51 of them.

Jack Kelly (Minnesota), who was named to the Major League Dream's Showcase team a season ago, returns to the Rox for 2020. He'll be alongside four of his Golden Gopher teammates in Sam Ireland, Will Anderson, Trent Schoeberl and his brother, Cody Kelly.
