Making the jump from Class A to Class AA in 2009 is catcher Jackson Williams (Connecticut Defenders) and Chuckie Caufield (Huntsville Stars). Williams has had an impressive 2009 campaign so far and has hit safely in seven out of the last nine games played with four RBIs.
Making his minor league debut with only five games under his belt, former catcher J.T. Wise has already made an impact on the Ogden Raptors hitting .381 on the season, along with one homerun and four RBIs.
