Five Standouts Who Shined for the Seagulls

The Summer 2025 season was filled with ups and downs for the San Francisco Seagulls, who finished with a 10-27 record. While the team faced its challenges, the season also featured moments of growth and individual performances that stood out. Several players emerged as bright spots, consistently making an impact on the field and giving fans plenty to cheer about. Here's a look at five of the top performers from this summer.

Josh Hanson #8 (OF)
Hanson was one of the most consistent bats in the lineup, hitting .348 over 13 games. He tallied 16 hits, scored 10 runs, and added four stolen bases, showing a mix of speed and contact ability. With an impressive on-base presence thanks to nine walks and three hit-by-pitches, Hanson set the table for the offense whenever he was in the lineup.

Finn Whalen #14 (RHP)
Whalen was the true ace of the pitching staff, logging a team-high 50.2 innings across 12 appearances. He struck out 41 batters and held a 3.90 ERA, providing rare consistency in a season where reliable pitching was hard to come by. Whalen also contributed offensively with 10 hits and four RBIs, proving his value as a two-way player and leader for the Seagulls.

Jake Brewer #29 (IF)
Brewer was the ironman of the Seagulls' lineup, appearing in a team-high 34 games. Consistency at the plate made him a steady contributor, finishing the season with 28 hits, 15 RBIs, and nine stolen bases. While his .267 average may not jump off the page, Brewer's durability and ability to produce in key moments made him one of the most dependable players on the roster.

Max McGrady #34 (RHP)
McGrady handled a heavy load for the Seagulls' pitching staff, throwing 41 innings, second only to Whalen. While his 6.80 ERA reflects the challenges of a tough season, McGrady's willingness to take the mound every week gave the team much-needed stability in their rotation. His durability and work ethic made him a cornerstone of the pitching staff.

Ethan Johnson #16 (C)
Johnson brought both power and reliability to the Seagulls' lineup. Over 25 games, he hit .250 with 20 hits, 13 RBIs, and a team-high three home runs. As a catcher, he not only managed the pitching staff but also provided timely offense, giving the Seagulls a valuable presence on both sides of the ball. His ability to deliver extra-base power gave the team an edge in close games.

Despite the obstacles of the 2025 season, the San Francisco Seagulls showed resilience and determination. Strong performances from key players provided positive points and reasons for optimism. With the experience gained this summer, the team is well-positioned to build on this foundation and come back even stronger next summer.
