2017 THUNDER MANAGER AND COACHING STAFF
A 7th round selection of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1977, Bobby Mitchell, was named the tenth manager in franchise history prior
to the 2016 season. Mitchell follows Al Pedrique becoming the fifth Manager in franchise history to have also played in the Major
Leagues.
In Mitchell’s first season at the helm, the Thunder won 87 games, the second-highest
single-season mark in franchise history, and led the team to a berth in the Eastern
League Championship series. Three members of the team went on to make their
Major League debut during the season with INF/OF Tyler Austin and RHP Jonathan
Holder reaching the Yankees in 2016, while RHP Vicente Campos made his major
league debut following a mid-season trade to the Arizona Diamondbacks. 2016
marked the fourth post-season appearance for a team that Mitchell managed.
Mitchell appeared in 202 major league games over four seasons with the Dodgers
and Minnesota Twins. He was a backup outfielder for the Dodgers on their 1981
World Series Championship team.
Mitchell completed his playing career in 1986 and stepped into a coaching career
that saw him serve as an Outfield, Base Running & Bunting Coordinator for the Atlanta
Braves, Los Angeles Angels, Boston Red Sox, San Diego Padres and Montreal Expos.
He began his managerial career in 2006 with a two-year stint leading the Rancho
Cucamonga Quakes (High-A, LAA). He then led the Angels’ Triple-A affiliate, the Salt
Lake Bees, for three seasons. In 2008 he guided the Bees to a 24-2 record to begin the
season en route to a division championship and the second-best overall record in the
Pacific Coast League with an 84-60 mark. The 2008 Bees began the season on an eight
-game win streak, dropped their home opener; than won 13 straight for the best start
in their franchise history.
Mitchell returned to a roving role in 2011 with the Angels before spending two
seasons as a Manager for the Chicago Cubs’ Rookie League affiliate in the Arizona
League. He led the 2012 AZL Cubs to the playoffs with a 37-19 record the third time
in his managerial career that his team advanced to postseason play.
Mitchell attended the University of Southern California where he was a member of
the 1974 NCAA Championship team under legendary Trojan coach Rod Dedeaux. He also played for the U.S. National Team in
1974 and 1976.

Did You Know?
Twice in franchise history the Thunder have played a game 5 hours and 35 minutes in length. On June 14, 1998, the Thun-
der and the Reading Phillies played the first game of that nature in franchise history. 19-inning marathon in Reading
finally ended when Steve Carver’s home run gave the Phillies the victory. The Thunder left a franchise-record 25 men
on base during the contest.
On May 1, 2015, the Thunder and Akron Rubberducks played 18 innings, a game in which two position players (Dan
Fiorito and Taylor Dugas) appeared on the mound. 35 players appeared in the game, 168 baseballs were used and 614
pitches were thrown. The Thunder took home the 5-4 win when Gary Sanchez drove in Eric Jagielo with a sacrifice fly to
centerfield.

Did You Know?
The Thunder swept their playoff series against Binghamton and Harrisburg en route to the 2013 Eastern League
Championship. It was the first time in 22 seasons that an Eastern League team had accomplished that feat, which dates
back to the 1991 Albany Colonie squad. Albany Colonie were the Yankees Double-A affiliate at the time, and just like the
Thunder in 2013, Albany Colonie swept Harrisburg in the Championship Series 3-0.

Did You Know?
Current Philadelphia Phillies TV broadcaster Tom McCarthy was one of the original members of the
Thunder’s front office. McCarthy was hired in 1993 to be the team’s Director of Public Relations and Radio
Broadcaster. The College of New Jersey graduate ascended to the position of Assistant General Manager
in 1996 before finally leaving the team after the 1999 season to further his broadcasting career.
Another former Thunder front office member, Andy Freed, is currently the radio broadcaster for the
Tampa Bay Rays. Freed spent five years in the Thunder radio booth from 1996-2001 and also broad-
casted Rider men’s basketball and The College of New Jersey football during his tenure at Trenton. Freed
and McCarthy, former partners in the Thunder radio booth from 1996-1999, were reunited in 2008 when
the Rays and Phillies met in the World Series.

On May 21, 2009, Akron RHP Jeanmar Gomez pitched the
first-ever nine-inning perfect game in Trenton to lead the
Aeros past the Thunder 3-0.
The Thunder had not been involved in a nine-inning
perfect game in Trenton’s history to that point, and it
remains the only perfect game to date in the franchise’s
history.

The RailRiders earned the Triple-A National Championship by
winning a one-game playoff against the El Paso Chihuahuas of
the Pacific Coast League, 3-1. Jordan Montgomery pitched
five innings of one-run ball to make Chris Parmelee’s first
inning three-run home run stand up in the victory.
Prior to their call-up to the Yankees, outfielders Tyler Austin and Aaron
Judge turned in fantastic 2016 campaigns for the RailRiders. Austin re-
discovered his power stroke at PNC Field with 13 home runs and 24
doubles in 57 games before getting the move up to the Bronx. Judge,
who spent the first 63 games of the 2015 season in Trenton, batted .270
with 19 home runs in 93 games before his call-up.
SWB ranked among the IL's best offenses in multiple categories: batting
average (1st, .266); OBP (1st, .333); SLG (2nd, .399); OPS (1st, .732);
runs/game (1st, 4.6); RBIs (1st, 611); BB (4th, 446). It did so with a group
of position players that had a mean-average age of 26.3. Tied with
Indianapolis for the IL's youngest pitching staff at 25.6, Tommy Phelps'
hurlers ranked among the circuit's best in: ERA (1st, 2.98); WHIP (2nd,
1.18); H/9 IP (1st, 7.8); K/9IP (2nd, 8.6); K:BB ratio (1st, 3.1:1); HR (2nd,
86); SV (T-1st, 45).

2016 Charleston RiverDogs Notebook
The RiverDogs “Director of Fun”, as well as one of
their owners, is Bill Murray, star of Caddy Shack,
Ghostbusters, and Groundhog Day.
Celebrating their 20th season at Joseph P. Riley, Jr.
Park, the RiverDogs earned their first playoff birth
in 11 seasons by winning the first half title with a 42-
27 record. The season also marked the first playoff
victory for Charleston in 28 years, however, the
team fell 2-1 to Rome in the Division Series.
Amidst a record level of turnover, Charleston hurlers combined to
strike out 1,248 batters to set a new franchise record dating back
to 1980. In his first year as the RiverDogs pitching coach, Justin
Pope guided the club to a league best 3.03 ERA in the regular
season, the best mark for a pitching staff under the RiverDogs
name and second only to the 1988 Rainbows (2.44) in the history of
the current Charleston franchise. The RiverDogs saw 37 different
pitchers suit up in a RiverDogs uniform. The Charleston staff's
1.176 WHIP was also the best mark in franchise history.

2016 Staten Island Yankees Notebook
Staten Island started their season with a bang
winning a 20-inning marathon at Brooklyn on their
Opening Day and on the next night turned in the
team’s first combined no-hitter courtesy of Drew
Finley and Josh Roeder in a 10-inning victory.
Three of the Yankees’ top-30 prospects spent time
in SI. Catcher Luis Torrens (#16) quickly earned a
promotion to Charleston, while Drew Finley (#18)
and Freicer Perez (#29) held down spots in the
rotation.
62nd overall selection, Nick Solak made a seamless
transition to pro ball with SI. Solak was named an
NYPL All-Star after batting .321 with three home
runs, 25 RBI’s, eight stolen bases and 13 doubles in
64 games. 21st round selection, Timmy Robinson,
drove in a league-leading 52 runs and led the team
in home runs (8), RBI’s (52), doubles (18) and
triples (4).
