2025 Pitcher of the Year: John Delgado

Delgado went 4-1 with a 1.26 ERA and a league-leading 53 strikeouts in 43 innings, becoming Vermont’s fourth Futures League Pitcher of the Year honoree in five seasons since joining the league in 2021. The left-hander made nine starts as a Lake Monster and pitched scoreless ball in five of them, including a streak of 20.2 consecutive scoreless innings over four-plus starts to begin the summer. Delgado allowed just 25 hits and six earned runs, holding opponents to a .164 average. He earned victories in three of his first four outings in Vermont, working six shutout, two-hit innings with a season-high eight strikeouts in a June 19 win over New Britain. After two seasons at Stevenson, Delgado will be continuing his career in Division 1 at the University of Dayton.
