EVERETT, WA. — April 7, 2026 – The Everett AquaSox, High-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, kick off the first homestand of the 2026 Minor League Baseball season Tuesday night hosting the Tri-City Dust Devils at 7:05 PM.
Mascots Webbly and Frank the Hot Dog will be present to entertain kids of all ages. The first 1,000 ticketed fans who enter Everett Memorial Stadium will receive an AquaSox 2026 season calendar magnet.
Tickets are still available and can be found on the team’s website. Students and military personnel can receive discounts.
Ahead of the highly anticipated home opener, the triumphant 2025 Northwest League Champions proudly unveiled their Opening Day roster, filled with excitement. With 22 talented returning players and eight promising newcomers, the team is poised for an exhilarating season ahead!
Leading the frogs are two of the organization’s top prospects, outfielder Jonny Farmelo and infielder Felnin Celesten, both expected to play key roles in Everett’s title defense.
Among the newcomers, catcher Luke Stevenson stands out. The 21-year-old was selected 35th overall in the 2025 MLB Draft by Seattle out of the University of North Carolina. Stevenson appeared in 22 games last season with the Single-A Modesto Nuts and is poised to make an immediate impact behind the plate.
The outfield will also see new energy with Carlos Jimenez another addition from Modesto.
The pitching staff retains significant depth and experience, with returning arms of left-hander Jacob Denner and right-handers:
- Taylor Dollard
- Jose Geraldo
- Ben Hernandez
- Casey Hintz
- Christian Little
- Wyatt Lunsford-Shenkman
- Brock Moore
- Calvin Schapira
- Gabriel Sosa
- Evan Truitt
Position players from last year’s championship roster also return in force, including catchers Josh Caron and Matthew Ellis.
Infielders: Carter Dorighi, Brandon Eike, Axel Sanchez, and Luis Suisbel and outfielders: Anthony Donofrio and Curtis Washington Jr.
Right-handed pitcher Lucas Kelly returns after making his Everett debut late last season. Kelly etched his name into team history by recording the final out of Game 4 in the 2025 Northwest League Championship, striking out Jonah Cox of the Eugene Emeralds to secure the title.
With a proven championship core and an infusion of young talent, the AquaSox enter the 2026 season with high expectations as they look to build on last year’s success and make another run at the Northwest League title.
