Introducing your @floridaleague Relief Pitcher of the Year: Tyler Van Dyke (@SSC_Baseball)! Ty had a great summer baseball season, out of the 19 innings he pitched, he had one of the highest strikeout counts in the league at 32, and allowed no runs the entire season! Congrats! ⚡️

So fun to see where our Raiders go to next. Congratulations! #buildingRaiders

"Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is." - Bob Feller

“I'm a teammate guy, so whatever I can do to help my team to win, like I have the past two years, that's what I want to do. If it takes me to play first base, third base, right field, I just want to win the game.” - Albert Pujols
