The Panamanian Devil Returns

WELLAND — The fish are flipping, and the crowd is grinning because the one, the only, the catcher who put the “WOW!” in postseason — Robert Mullen — is BACK at The Pond with the Welland Jackfish!

Last season, Mullen didn’t just hit baseballs—he launched them into orbit. The well-loved backstop took home Playoff MVP honours, slashing to a .356 average with an OPS over 1.000 and crushing two clutch home runs to help bring home the Dominico Cup. In short… he made pitchers cry and gave opposing infields nightmares.

🎯 Season Highlights (Perplexing Yet Impressive):

• .356 Playoff Batting Average — That’s basically video game numbers.

• 1.016 OPS — We looked this up and even math got excited.

• Two Postseason Dingers — Because parties need fireworks.

“When building a roster, it’s absolutely essential to have a catcher who — for lack of a better phrase — sets the tone. In Robert, we believe we have the very best in the CBL," said Jackfish General Manager, Jason McKay.

In regular season action, Big Robbie has been a force of nature — even earning Player of the Week with a mind-melting .625 average including three homers and nine RBIs in one glorious stretch.  And let’s not forget that May where he hit .458 with multiple bombs and honest-to-goodness walks.
