In the third episode of “Belgian Division One Transactions For 2026” we focus on the team that finished at the top of the 2025 rankings in the regular competition, but did not reach the championship game: Hoboken Pioneers.
With the exception of two players, Hoboken Pioneers managed to keep the roster for 2025 intact. Catcher Ken Spurgeon returns to the Brussels Kangaroos after a three-year absence and Rob Lewis will hang up his cleats. However, Lewis will join the pitching staff as first base coach and catchers coach.
Four new players were added and according to manager TJ Antonacci they will have an immediate impact on the squad: Frank Prieto Burgos (OF, Merchtem Cats), Jamie Peeters (C, Brasschaat Braves), Jeremy Boyeleba (P, did not play for three seasons due to work commitments) and Matevz Vodopivec (INF, Leuven Twins (Division Three)).
The additions (except Jeremy Boyeleba) recorded the following figures in 2025:
Frank Prieto Burgos: 2025 season – .433 AVG, 5 HR and 38 RBIs in 29 games
Jamie Peeters: 2025 season – .329 AVG, 27 RBIs in 25 games.
Matevz Vodopivec: 2025 season – .600 AVG, 16 RBIs in 11 games
TJ Antonacci stated: “With the additions we have made, in addition to being able to sign our entire roster, we are confident that we will be as strong as we have been in years heading into the 2026 season.”
I would like to thank TJ Antonacci for the much needed information I needed to write this blog post.
