HIGH POINT, N.C. – The High Point Rockers on Monday announced the signing of two more players for the 2025 season. Outfielder Luis Gonzalez and pitcher Kent Emanuel are each expected to be in camp when the Rockers open Spring Training on Monday, April 14.

Both Gonzalez and Emanuel have prior Major League experience. Gonzalez spent parts of the 2020 and 2021 seasons with the Chicago White Sox and appeared in 98 games for the San Francisco Giants in 2022. Emanuel was in the Majors with the Houston Astros in 2021 and the Miami Marlins in 2024.

“Both Luis and Kent will make their mark this season,” said Rockers manager Jamie Keefe. “Luis gives us an exceptional outfielder who is an outstanding hitter and can really run. Kent has won a slew of games as a starter and he’ll be a key ingredient in our rotation this year.”

Emanual, 32, played at the University of North Carolina and was the ACC Pitcher of the Year in 2013 after leading the Tar Heels to the College World Series. He was 11-5 in his final season in Chapel Hill and was a first team All-ACC selection in both 2012 and ’13. Last year with Miami, Emanuel made 12 MLB appearances with 12 strikeouts in 17.2 innings. The Woodstock, Ga. native was a finalist for both the Golden Spikes and Dick Howser Awards in 2013.

Gonzalez, who attended high school in Tucson, Az., played at the University of New Mexico and was a third team All-American in 2017. A third round pick of the White Sox in 2017, he made his MLB debut with the Sox in 2020. He earned his most extensive playing time with the Giants in 2022 as he hit .254 in 98 games with 17 doubles, four homers and 36 RBI. Gonzalez, 29, was at Class AAA with the Yankees in 2024.

The Rockers open the 2025 Atlantic League season at Southern Maryland on April 25 and play their home opener at Truist Point on Friday, May 2 against the Lexington Legends.

HIGH POINT, N.C. – Drew Mendoza, a left-handed hitter who led the Atlantic League in batting in 2023, has signed to play with the High Point Rockers in 2025.

Mendoza, 27, is a first and third baseman and also plays the corner outfield positions. His .346 batting average for the York Revolution in 2023 was the highest of all Atlantic League hitters that season.

“Drew brings so much to this team,” said Rockers manager Jamie Keefe. “He’s a pure hitter who can play first or third base or either corner outfield spot. Drew not only hits for a high average, but he adds power and is outstanding at driving in runs. He will have a big impact on the middle of our line-up.”

Mendoza was a college star at Florida State, earning first team All-ACC honors and second team All-America recognition as a junior in 2019 when he led the ACC in walks and finished second in on-base percentage at .471. He played on a pair of FSU teams that won the ACC Championship and earned All-Athens Regional honors in 2019.

A native of Minneola, Fla., Mendoza was selected in the third round of the 2019 MLB Amateur Draft by the Washington Nationals. He reached as high as Class AA before joining the York Revolution in 2023.

With York in 2023, Mendoza led the Atlantic League in hitting with a .346 batting average while posting league-bests with 41 doubles and a .998 OPS (on-base+slugging). He was named a 2023 ALPB Postseason All-Star and was the first baseman on the league’s All-Defensive Team. Mendoza spent the 2024 season with Chihuahua in the Mexican League.

Mendoza is the seventh player to sign a contract with the Rockers this spring, joining catcher Chris Brady, infielders Michael Martinez and Max Viera, outfielder Gilberto Jimenez and pitchers Jeff Heinrich and Jacob Edwards.

The Rockers will open their sixth season of play on April 25 at the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs and will start the home schedule at Truist Point on Friday, May 2 against Lexington Legends.

In a groundbreaking move sure to shake up the Atlantic League and warm hearts across the Triad, the High Point Rockers are thrilled to announce the signing of 𝙍𝙪𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙧 𝘿𝙤𝙜 to a fur-ever office dog contract. This four-legged free agent has been turning heads since her debut and is ready to bring her unparalleled paw-fessionalism to Truist Point.

Hailing from the Asheville, NC area, Ruby was born in the summer of 2024 and spent her early puppy days in a western North Carolina animal shelter. After being rescued by the @bissellpets and emergency airlifted to the @forsythhumane— following the devastation of Hurricane Helene in October—Ruby made her way to the Triad area and eventually Truist Point. Ruby was officially adopted by the Rockers in fall 2024, signing her life-long deal as Ruby the Rocker Dog in October 2024.

Fans can catch Ruby making VIP (Very Important Pup) appearances at Rockers games this season or drop by the front office for a meet-and-greet. Rumor has it, she’s paw-sitively ecstatic about belly rubs and will gladly accept treats as payment for her time.

HIGH POINT, N.C. – The High Point Rockers today announced the signing of Chris Brady, a versatile player with prior Atlantic League experience, who will join the club in 2025.

Brady, 26, is primarily a catcher but can also play in the infield at first or third base and in the outfield in both right and left field.

“Chris has proven he can catch in this league,” said Rockers manager Jamie Keefe. “He brings a lot of experience to the table and has caught some pretty good pitchers. We are looking for him to be a real leader for our pitching staff this season.”

Brady played collegiately at California University (Pennsylvania) and at Queens College in Charlotte, N.C. He joined the Lexington Legends of the Atlantic League in 2023 where he hit .260. Brady split time in the Pioneer and Frontier Leagues in 2024 while also logging time with the Hagerstown Flying Boxcars.

Brady is the first newcomer that the Rockers have signed, joining returning outfielder Gilberto Jimenez and infielder and World Series veteran Michael Martinez.

The Rockers open the 2025 season at Southern Maryland on Friday, April 25. The home opener at Truist Point is slated for Friday, May 2 when the Rockers host Lexington.
