This year, a record 42 West Coast League alumni were listed on Major League Baseball’s Opening Day rosters.

The total includes 2024 AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal (Kitsap/Detroit Tigers), who made his second straight Opening Day start for Detroit.

On Opening Day, Steven Kwan (Corvallis/Cleveland Guardians), a three-time Gold Glove winner and 2024 All-Star, delivered a game-winning double in the top of the 10th. Kwan’s teammate Kyle Manzardo (Portland Pickles) went 3 for 4 with a double, triple, home run and four RBI and Paul Sewald (Spokane) earned the save.

“Every spring,” said WCL Commissioner Rob Neyer, “I’m blown away by the number of WCL alumni who dot the MLB rosters on Opening Day. This year the box scores were full of familiar names, just another testament to our teams and their Player First philosophy. I can’t wait to see who else shows up in the big leagues this season.”

In other notable performances, Adley Rutschman (Corvallis/Baltimore Orioles), a 2023 Silver Slugger winner and two-time All-Star, homered twice; Vinny Capra (Walla Walla/Milwaukee Brewers) hit his first career home run; Kyle Stowers (Bellingham/Miami Marlins) laced a game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth; and Ryan Walker (Corvallis/San Francisco Giants) recorded a save.
