SECOND-HALF BEGINS
The second-half of the 2025 MLB Draft League season begins this week with a 5-game homestand at Journey Bank Ballpark (July 16-20). While the Cutters spent all of June in 1st place, July was not as kind and they were not able to hold on to the top spot. The team will need to win the second-half in order to qualify for the 2025 MLB Draft League Championship game and defend the 2024 title.
ROSTER REFRESH
The second-half means roster changes for all teams in the MLB Draft League. From year-to-year the Cutters have had 1-3 players stay on for the second-half. This season looks to be different with more players than usual sticking on the roster. Scheduled to stay with Williamsport for the remainder of the season are; pitchers Jeb Boyle, Josh Leerssen, Brad Rudis, Sam Swygert & Jared Ure, infielders Carlos Castillo Joey Parliament and Michael Zarillo along with catchers Matt Flaherty and Christian Reyes. Also scheduled to be on the roster are a pair of 2024 Cutters; infielder Max Mandler and outfielder Jackson Mayo. Visit crosscutters.com for a full up-to-date roster.

BEWARE OF THIRD-PARTY TICKET SELLING WEBSITES
Be sure you are buying tickets DIRECTLY from the Williamsport Crosscutters. There are literally dozens of resale sites online that try to make you think you are actually buying from the Cutters when you are not. If you purchase your tickets through a third-party resale site, you will not only pay more money for tickets than you have to, but we may be unable to assist you with ticket issues on the night of the game. Always purchase your tickets directly from Crosscutters.com, in-person at our box office, or call us at
(570) 326-3389 for the guaranteed lowest prices and peace of mind!
