HIGH POINT, N.C. – High Point Rockers manager Jamie Keefe today announced a pair of returning players and the addition of two newcomers to the Rockers 2026 team.

The two returning players are outfielder Bryson Parks and pitcher Scott Rouse. Joining the Rockers for the first time in 2026 are outfielder Frank Perez and infielder Patrick Sanchez.

The Rockers will open spring training on Saturday, April 11 at Truist Point.

Rouse, a right-hander, joined the Rockers in July 2025 after a stint in the Coastal Plan League. He made 17 appearances for High Point, all in relief, and frequently threw more than a single inning. Rouse pitched at the University of Kentucky in 2025 after spending two seasons at Radford University.

Parks was a late season acquisition in a trade from the New Jersey Jackals of the Frontier League. A centerfielder, Parks hit .250 in his 11 games in High Point, scoring three runs. He was used primarily as a pinch-runner during High Point’s postseason run. With the Jackals, Parks posted a .303 batting average with nine home runs and 33 RBI in 79 games while stealing 26 bases. Parks played college baseball at Western Carolina.

Sanchez is another former Jackal who will report to spring training with the Rockers. He played 73 games for New Jersey following a college career that saw him spend two years each at College of Charleston and Molloy University. Sanchez was the Nassau Conference II MVP while in high school on Long Island in 2021.

Perez, 25, is a native of Cuba who has spent his entire professional career in the Houston Astros system. He was most recently with Houston’s Class A club in Fayetteville, N.C. in 2023 and will be in competition for one of the Rockers’ outfield spots.

HIGH POINT, N.C. – The High Point Rockers today announced that four players from the 2025 Atlantic League South Division Championship team will be returning for the coming season. The four include infielders Aidan Brewer and Max Viera along with catcher Nolan Watson and Zach Vennaro.

Brewer, Vennaro and Watson will all be with the Rockers for a third consecutive season while Viera will start his second season in High Point.

Brewer emerged as the Rockers starting shortstop in 2025. He led all Atlantic League shortstops with 420 total chances and 251 assists while hitting .230 with 13 homers and 46 RBI. Brewer is the only player in Rockers history to two inside-the-park home runs.

Vennaro has been a key part of High Point’s bullpen since joining the club in 2024. He led all Rockers pitchers with 44 appearances last year and has 105 career strikeouts in just 78.1 innings pitched.

Watson played in 40 games last year, primarily behind the plate, but his speed could allow him to see more time in the outfield as well. High Point led the ALPB in grand slams last year and Watson had one of those, coming against the Lexington Legends on May 13.

Viera was in High Point’s Opening Day line-up in 2025 after joining the club right out of Seton Hall University where he earned All-Big East honors at shortstop. A versatile infielder, he logged starts at second base, third base, shortstop, DH and in the outfield during the 2025 campaign.

Since joining the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball in 2019, the Rockers have posted more wins than any other club, with 435 victories, 79 more than the Long Island Ducks. The Rockers have reached the playoffs in four of their six seasons and won two South Division championships.

HIGH POINT, N.C. –Luke Napleton, one of the top hitters in the Atlantic League in 2025, will be returning to the High Point Rockers in 2026. Rockers manager Jamie Keefe made the announcement today.

“Luke is a force offensively and defensively,” said Keefe. “Whether he is behind the plate catching or playing first base, his bat will be in the lineup daily.”

Napleton made the Rockers roster out of Spring Training in 2025 before having his contract purchased by the Minnesota Twins on May 7. After seeing action at the Twins’ Class A Fort Myers and Class A+ Cedar Rapids clubs, Napleton returned to the Rockers in early August. He played 31 games for High Point and hit .407 with six home runs and 29 RBI. Napleton had the highest batting average in the Atlantic League in 2025 but did not have enough plate appearances to win the batting title.

As both a catcher and designated hitter, Napleton set the Rockers record by recording an RBI in each of his first seven games and tied a club mark with four extra base hits against the Long Island Ducks on Sept. 7.

Napleton is the third Rocker to sign a contract for 2026, joining infielder Ethan Skender and catcher Lyle Lin.

The Rockers will begin Spring Training on April 11 and will open the season at Truist Point against the Gastonia Ghost Peppers on Tuesday, April 21.

Since joining the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball in 2019, the Rockers have posted more wins than any other club, with 435 victories, 79 more than the Long Island Ducks.
