Ridgefield Raptors Alumni Shining in Professional Baseball

Since the inception of the Ridgefield Raptors in 2019, our program has prided itself on developing some of the finest collegiate baseball talent in the country. Competing in the West Coast League, a premier summer collegiate league, we’ve seen our players move on to play at the professional level. The WCL spans across Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alberta, showcasing pro prospects from elite collegiate programs. The Raptors’ success on the field has translated into an impressive number of players drafted into professional baseball.

As the MiLB season wraps up, 20 former Ridgefield Raptors have been drafted into Major League Baseball, with 19 currently active in the minor leagues. This is a remarkable accomplishment for such a young program, a testament to the hard work and talent of our players, and the support of our community.

Here’s a look at the former Raptors who are now climbing the ranks of professional baseball:

*NDFA = Non-Drafted Free Agent

We are incredibly proud of these players for continuing on to professional baseball. Their hard work and dedication while donning a Ridgefield Raptors jersey prepared them for this next level, and we can’t wait to see what their future holds in the game. We’d like to also congratulate 2021 Raptor Alum, Caden Connor, on his recent Carolina League All Star selection. Keep an eye out for some of these names as you may see some of them playing in the MLB soon.
