The Gateway Grizzlies announce that they have re-signed outfielder Edwin Mateo.
Mateo will be entering his second season with the Grizzlies in 2025 and his first full season after being signed in July. Overall, in 91 games between Gateway and the Sussex County Miners, the native of the Dominican Republic batted .229 with 13 doubles, two homers, 17 RBIs, and 22 stolen bases in 29 attempts. He also had a pair of outfield assists defensively after joining the Grizzlies.
He will be looking to return to his 2023 form with Gateway this upcoming season, when he was one of the best overall outfielders in the Frontier League while playing for the Miners. Mateo hit .323 that year with seven homers, 43 RBIs, 15 doubles, and 39 stolen bases in 48 attempts while also amassing 82 runs scored and 128 hits in 95 games. The switch-hitter was voted a midseason All-Star, and at year’s end ranked in the league’s top-10 in average, steals, runs scored, and total hits.
