Beaver Tales - 2025 At The Break

Beaver fans are pleased that four players have been honored by the ABL as members of the TML All Star team.

Pat Bancroft (DH/RF) has been among TML batting leaders all season and recently registered hit number 2,000 of his career. Baber Davi (1B) has been tearing up the league and recently was named TML Batter of the Month for June. Tanner Johnson (SP) is leading the TML in wins (12) and is sporting a 2.77 ERA in his first full season in the ABL. Carlos Rubio (RP) is enjoying his best season in the ABL as the team's late-inning, left-handed set-up man.

Other News and Notes:

For the second time in three seasons, Nick Holmes suffered a major injury. This time the injury came midway through the current campaign.

The last time Holmes was sidelined, the team imploded. With the team leading the division at the break with a 58-29 record, the front office team was determined not to let that happen again. Therefore, upon learning that David Lewis was available the organization acted swiftly to secure his services.



Lewis has not played too much this season due to a hamstring injury that sidelined him for six weeks. However, at the time of the exchange he was performing well while on a rehab assignment. Last season, while playing for South Carolina, the 31 year-old outfielder batted .281 with 28 HR, 88 RBI, and a 2.8 WAR in 148 games. Beaver fans are hopeful that Lewis will provide enough punch in the lineup to adequately replace Holmes and enable the Beavers to continue to charge towards a playoff berth.

Go Beavers!
