The Los Angeles Dodgers Win Back to Back World Series titles! The 2025 @MLB Season is in the books.
The UCR ⚾️ family had proud moments, as two of ours competed
in the Majors in 2025.
Rob Brantly had a reunion in an @Marlins uniform! He has played in parts of 10 seasons in the Majors, with 6 different teams. Way back in August 14, 2012 he celebrated his debut with the Marlins.
~ in his reunion in 25’ he played in 3 games and went 3 for 7 at the plate with an RBI. That’s a .429 Batting average!
Andre Granillo made his Major League debut on June 12, 2025 with the @Cardinals. He had amazing moments on the mound!
~ 1st Major League Win and Save on the same day. A double header against the White Sox - June 19!
The UCR Highlanders have produced 20 players with Major League Careers!
~ Highlander MLB totals after the 2025 Season,
~ 3,020 games/ 1,361 hits at the plate/ 255 wins and 387 saves on the mound/ in 4,738.1 Innings pitched with 3,851 Strikeouts!

@80sWrestling_ Dozens and dozens of house shows. Mostly, the LA sports arena but also the Anaheim Convention Center. Kamala, King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd just to name a few.
Asked by a Cardinals official if he wanted a walk-up song when he entered at home, Andre Granillo nodded and said, yes, if that's OK.
His pick: "Forgot About Dre."

Andre Granillo is the first Cardinal to get a save and a win in the same day - getting it done in the doubleheader against the White Sox.
Before tonight's game against the Reds, I caught up with Granillo in the dugout about his first week in the big leagues.

Incredible. St. Louis Cardinals rookie Andre Granillo gets his 1st-career win in the 1st game of today’s doubleheader … and his 1st-career save in the 2nd game.
Not only does Andre Granillo get his first MLB win and first MLB save today. His final pitch, securing the save, also finishes his first career strikeout.

Andre Granillo is a boss. A win and a save in the day? Most pitchers wouldn't even be asked to try it.
His arrival to the big leagues was long overdue.
With a Perfect 9th to shut the door on the White Sox, Andre Granillo is off to a great start in the Bigs!
~ 2nd Appearance 👍
11 pitches/ 3 Ground outs!

Last night former Highlander Andre Granillo made his Major League debut in Milwaukee. The righty pitched 2.2 innings and gave up just two hits. @UCR_Athletics#GoHighlanders
