Wisconsin Press Release:

Areinamo, Hardin Named Midwest League Postseason All-Stars
2025 Postseason All-Star Team Named today with two former Timber Rattlers

GRAND CHUTE, WI – Two former Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, who are on opposing sides in a 2025 Southern League South Division playoff series, are on the same Midwest League Postseason All-Star Team.  Tyson Hardin was named as one of the starting pitchers and Jadher Areinamo is the utility player for this year’s team which was announced by Minor League Baseball this afternoon.

Hardin was 4-3 with a 2.34 ERA, 62 strikeouts, and nine walks in 57-2/3 innings over eleven starts with the Timber Rattlers.  He had a seven-inning, complete-game, two-hit shutout with no walks and six strikeouts in a 1-0 win over the Beloit Sky Carp on May 16.  Hardin was promoted to the Biloxi Shuckers, the Southern League affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, on June 18.

Areinamo has earned a spot on the Midwest League Postseason All-Star team for the second consecutive year.  He was the second baseman in 2024.  This season, Areinamo hit .297 with eleven homers, 51 RBI, and an OPS of .818 in 94 games with Wisconsin before he was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays organization on July 28.  The Brewers received catcher Danny Jansen while Areinamo was sent to the Montgomery Biscuits, Tampa’s Southern League affiliate.

In his last two seasons with Wisconsin, Areinamo played 204 games with 237 hits, 21 homers, and 119 RBI. He won the Midwest League batting title with a .301 average in 2024.

There have been five Timber Rattlers named to the Midwest League Postseason All-Star Team since the league moved to the High-A classification for the 2021 season:

2025:
Starting Pitcher:  Tyson Hardin
Utility Player:  Jadher Areinamo

From a business perspective...as the article details.

Pleasant conversation with the soon-to-be-23-year-old 2025 Timber Rattlers 1B/LF. Hall will be looking to improve on a .597 OPS (B-Ref page) in 88 games.

Split insights into the JUCO and minor league ways of life.

I bought my first T-Rats tickets of the season.  April 4... ugh.

Usually I had sworn off any April games, due to freezing my butt out there, but this one is the Free Frelick Jersey day.  I'll be up nice and close right behind home plate.

Some years ago I went to the home opener, which wasn't supposed to be the opener, but the real opener got snowed out.  It wound up being a double header.  It was nice paying $10 for five hours of baseball.  Scooter Gennett made his debut at this game and my wife fell in love with him right away.  Probably because he's close to my son's age and looks sorta like him.
