  • Three members of the 2024 Pulaski River Turtles team are returning: Pitcher Justin Mayes, infielder Jonathan Holt, and infielder/pitcher Noah Toole.
  • Mathis Meurant is in his first season playing shortstop for the University of Arizona Wildcats. Prior to arriving at Arizona, Meurant played two years at Cochise College from 23-24, posting a career .353 batting average with 89 runs scored, 31 doubles, nine triples, five home runs, and 92 RBI across 106 games.
