The Winnipeg Goldeyes have signed right-handed starting pitcher Aaron Shortridge for the 2025 season.
Shortridge was chosen by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fourth round of the 2018 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of the University of California, Berkeley. He played five seasons in their system, reaching the Class-AAA level on two occasions.
The 27-year-old spent the majority of last season with the Class-AAA International League’s Indianapolis Indians, where he posted a 3-4 record with a 5.18 earned run average in 12 appearances.
“This is a big pickup for us,” said manager Logan Watkins. “Aaron has shown throughout his career that he’s a highly successful starting pitcher. He’s played at the higher affiliated levels and has always been effective. He will only strengthen what is already a solid starting rotation.”
Winnipeg now has 15 players under contract for the 2025 season.
