(WISCONSIN TIMBER RATTLERS) – GRAND CHUTE, WI – Two former Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, who are on opposing sides in a 2025 Southern League South Division playoff series, are on the same Midwest League Postseason All-Star Team. Tyson Hardin was named as one of the starting pitchers and Jadher Areinamo is the utility player for this year’s team which was announced by Minor League Baseball this afternoon.
Hardin was 4-3 with a 2.34 ERA, 62 strikeouts, and nine walks in 57-2/3 innings over eleven starts with the Timber Rattlers. He had a seven-inning, complete-game, two-hit shutout with no walks and six strikeouts in a 1-0 win over the Beloit Sky Carp on May 16. Hardin was promoted to the Biloxi Shuckers, the Southern League affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, on June 18.
Areinamo has earned a spot on the Midwest League Postseason All-Star team for the second consecutive year. He was the second baseman in 2024. This season, Areinamo hit .297 with eleven homers, 51 RBI, and an OPS of .818 in 94 games with Wisconsin before he was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays organization on July 28. The Brewers received catcher Danny Jansen while Areinamo was sent to the Montgomery Biscuits, Tampa’s Southern League affiliate.
In his last two seasons with Wisconsin, Areinamo played 204 games with 237 hits, 21 homers, and 119 RBI. He won the Midwest League batting title with a .301 average in 2024.
The Shuckers and Biscuits played game one of their best-of-three playoff series last night in Montgomery, Alabama with Biloxi dropping a 7-2 decision. Game two is scheduled for Biloxi, Mississippi on Thursday. If needed, game three will be Friday in Biloxi.
