Four days until your Niagara Falls Americans play their first game of the 2025 PGCBL season! In honor of four days until Opening Day, we want to spotlight four more players for you.
Austin Barton:
Barton is a 6’0”, 185 pound right handed pitcher from SUNY Niagara. He will enter his sophomore year as an Accounting major. Barton made two relief appearances for the Thunderwolves, pitching two innings on the year. He was effective in this time, allowing just one hit and one walk, but striking out three and not allowing any runs. His favorite hobby outside of baseball is fishing.
Brady Boles:
Boles is a 6’0”, 175 pound rising sophomore middle infielder from Panola College, where he studies Business. In 50 games played with Panola, Boles has earned a .322 batting average and a .848 OPS, while driving in 27 runs. If you listen to Brady, he is “impressively good” at hacky sack.
Christopher Guzaldo:
Guzaldo is a 6’0”, 185 pound middle infielder from Panola College, where he is a rising sophomore in the Business program. In his freshman season with the Ponies, Guzaldo played in 39 games, leading the team with a .370 batting average. Guzaldo also earned an OPS of .925 and batted in 19 runs. Christopher has been able to explore the world through baseball, having played the game in 13 countries.
Toshinari Kurokawa:
Kurokawa isa 6’0”, 205 pound rising sophomore catcher, majoring in Business, from Santa Barbara City College. Kurokawa, originally from Kamakura, Japan, has gone three for five with a double and a walk in his four games played with Santa Barbara. Despite now loving in the United States, his food taste still remains in his first home, as he prefers sushi over American cuisine such as KFC.
