#33 - Jevon Lowery [ID #247232] P |
Home Town: Southfield, Michigan High School: City High School Drafted: 2043, Round #2 by Presque Isle Vikings |
Hall Of Famer Bats (R) Throws (R) Positions: P |
|
Games 1182, W 110, L 75, S 138, ERA 2.69, BAA .214, WHIP 1.041, IP 1778⅔, K 1488 |
Notes: A second-round pick in 2043, Lowery immediately had great expectations thrust upon him, yet he met them in an unusual way. A starting pitcher in the minors, Lowery transitioned to relief work to make the team in his age 24 season, and it was there where he found success. In 2051, his first full season, Lowery tossed a whopping 140.2 IP en route to the Rookie of the Year award and an All-Star appearance. He would continue to throw high volume relief for the rest of his career, only falling below 100 IP in his first and final seasons. Lowery helped re-define the role of a relief pitcher and left behind an imprint on the team philosophy that will not be matched. |
#58 - Cruz Toca [ID #101863] SS |
Home Town: Des Moines, Iowa School: none |
Hall Of Famer Bats (L) Throws (R) Positions: SS c |

Games 1710, AVE .278, OBP .350, SLG .449, OPS .800, H 1820, 2B 457, 3B 48, HR 189, RBI 1074, SB 137 |
Notes: Notes: Toca was one of the cornerstones of the Vikings defense, winning four gold gloves at shortstop. A part of the franchise from the age of 17 until his retirement at 35, Toca was the 2028 Rookie of the Year, and proceeded to receive five All-Star and three All-League selections over the course of his career. Toca was a feared hitter as well, slashing above average nearly every year of his career. |
#59 - Cory Sheppard [ID #129461] OF |
Home Town: Arlington, Texas College: Texas Southern University Drafted: 2027, Round #1 by Presque Isle Vikings |
Hall Of Famer Bats (L) Throws (L) Positions: OF |

Games 1523, AVE .276, OBP .350, SLG .482, OPS .833, H 1588, 2B 442, 3B 47, HR 218, RBI 1004, SB 29 |
Notes: A six-time All-Star and two-time All-Leaguer, Sheppard is one of the greatest players to come through the Vikings' minor league system. A consistently solid hitter and defender, Sheppard manned center field for 11 seasons for Berlin/Presque Isle, before finishing his career with Mount Prospect and Springfield. |
#60 - Luis Roldán [ID #121352] 2B |
Home Town: San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic School: none Drafted: 2025, Round #6 by Presque Isle Vikings |

|
Games 1911, AVE .275, OBP .350, SLG .523, OPS .873, H 2138, 2B 560, 3B 98, HR 388, RBI 1367, SB 934 |
Notes: The long time DH for the Vikings, Roldan was an absolutely game-changing superstar, both on the basepaths and at the plate. His 934 stolen bases rank second in franchise history, his 388 homeruns are a franchise best, and his 149 PotG are mind-boggling.
A six-time all-star, two-time all-league, one-time MVP, and a member of the Dominican National Team, Roldan will forever be remembered for his impact on the game. |
#84 - Nicolas Zelaya [ID #160193] OF |
Home Town: Tinley Park, Illinois School: none Drafted: 2033, Round #2 by Presque Isle Vikings |
Hall Of Famer Bats (S) Throws (R) Positions: OF |
|
Games 1719, AVE .258, OBP .360, SLG .488, OPS .848, H 1680, 2B 424, 3B 31, HR 338, RBI 1176, SB 2 |
Notes: Zelaya was initially notable as the second draft pick (and first hitter) of the new ownership, however he soon blossomed into far more than that. The 5-time All-Star and 2-time All-League outfielder was most notable for his incredible patience at the plate, becoming the only Vikings player to ever draw over 1000 walks (1044). However, his power was nothing to sneeze at, as he hit 33+ homers in six consecutive seasons, including a 40 HR campaign. He even won a CF Gold Glove in one of his final seasons.
Zelaya's name was already going to be found in the history books regardless, but he is sure to be mentioned a lot more after a stellar career. |
