Season Recap

It was a season for the books: the Portland Sea Dogs were able to host their first playoff game since 2014, Hadlock Field swelled with the best attendance in a decade while multiple records were broken on the field. Let’s dive in to relive the 2022 season.

Christian Arroyo, Kiké Hernandez, Rob Refsnyder, Trevor Story, Matt Barnes, Tyler Danish, Brayan Bello, Rich Hill, Chris Sale, Josh Taylor, Michael Wacha and Garrett Whitlock all made Major League rehab appearances, donning a Sea Dog jersey. Chris Sale appeared in one game for Portland tossing 4.0 innings with seven strikeouts. Refsnyder saw the most success at the plate with a double and two home runs in four at-bats at Hadlock Field. Even though he started the season with Portland and made his debut with the Boston Red Sox on July 6th, Brayan Bello returned to pitch on a rehab assignment with the Sea Dogs on August 14th and struck out six in 3.2 innings.

A number of historical records were broken at Hadlock Field last season, primarily by the feet of the infielder David Hamilton. Hamilton, aquired in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers prior to the 2022 season, was known for his speed but took it to another level in 2022.
