Notes: Chris Osbourne was inducted into the Manhattan Isotopes Hall of Fame on August 22nd, 2026. The second baseman was a fan favorite and leading figure in the team that lead the Nukes into the upper leagues in the 2010s. Osbourne played 1225 games in nine seasons with the Isotopes and ranks third in team history in batting average, slugging and OPS. During his nine seasons, he was an eight-time all-star and three-time all-league player, leading the team's position players in both categories. In 2017, Chris Osbourne was voted the league MVP.

To the dismay of many fans, Osbourne was released by the Isotopes and replaced by Ramon Mercado after the 2022 season. He ended up playing two more seasons for the Davenport Cobras as a utility infielder and DH. Chris Osbourne rejoined the Isotopes on a symbolic contract in 2026 to officially end his career in pinstripes. In three short appearances against the Waterloo Dinosaurs during his return to the city, he went 2 for 5 with a double and made seven solid plays at 2B.


Hall of Famer Brandon Howard
United States   #7 - Brandon Howard [ID #13455]     2B

Notes: Brandon Howard was inducted into the Manhattan Isotopes Hall of Fame on April 3, 2026. The second baseman was the leading hitter in the rise of the former Manhattan Mustangs to League 2 in the early 2000s. Howard played 2099 games in 15 seasons for the team, ranking second among Isotopes/Mustangs position players. His 2258 hits, 344 home runs, 1104 runs scored and 1513 RBI are all team records. From 2004 to 2013, Howard made the all-star team seven times. Howard retired in 2015 and was succeeded at 2B by fan favorite and potential future hall of famer Chris Osbourne.

Because of Brandon Howard's long, productive career with the team, his records are expected to stand for a long time. His hit total is more than twice that of the currently most productive Isotope, Max Hudson, who has 1059 career hits.


Hall of Famer Max Hudson
United States   #25 - Max Hudson [ID #81908]     1B
Home Town: Nashua, New Hampshire           College: Dartmouth College

Notes: Max Hudson was inducted into the Manhattan Isotopes Hall of Fame on April 4th, 2028 as the first player to make the Hall while he was still on the team's active roster. The Isotopes' fourth round pick in 2016 out of Dartmouth College, "Boom Boom" Hudson became the dominant power bat of the teams that rose from the lower leagues to repeated title contention in Legends. At the time of his HoF induction, Hudson had played 1352 games for the Isos, starting his career as a corner outfielder before moving to first base and, finally, DH. He was the team leader in career slugging percentage and ranking fourth in career RBIs for the Isos and expected to move up to second place before the all-star break. He was a five time all-star, was honored twice each as all-league first baseman and all-league DH and won the 1B gold glove in 2022. In 2024, he was voted League 2 MVP.            
Hudson's age 32 season in 2027 was one of the best of his career. Batting .282/.357/.568, he dominated the Legends League in home runs, runs scored, RBIs, slugging and OPS and won the most game MVPs of all position players. 33 years old at the time of his induction into the Hall of Fame, Hudson expects to play at least two more productive seasons for the team and is hoping to retire in pinstripes.

To add to those accolades he is second all-time in At Bats, hits, SLG, Stolen Bases, and walks. Not to mention finishing third in Homeruns and OBP.    
   
In closing Takahashi is the greatest Isotopes all-around player in the history of the game.


Hall of Famer Carlos Salazar
Puerto Rico   #85 - Carlos Salazar [ID #13489]     P
Home Town: Coamo, Puerto Rico           School: none
Hall Of Famer                     Bats (R)           Throws (R)           Positions: P
Games 415, W 153, L 121, S 6, CG 36, SHO 14, ERA 3.26, BAA .237, WHIP 1.340, IP 2538⅔, K 1094
Notes: Carlos Salazar was inducted into the Manhattan Isotopes Hall of Fame on April 6, 2025. The dominant starting pitcher of the late Manhattan Mustangs era, Salarzar played 415 games in 13 seasons for the team, winning 153. His 2538.2 innings pitched and his career ERA of 3.26 stand as team records to this day. After being released by the Isotopes in 2016, Salazar ended his career with the Plymouth Pilgrims.

Salazar's results look even more spectacular considering he was never a power pitcher, relying on a fastball in the upper 80s combined with deception and his signature wipeout curve.
