“When Garrett Hawkins toed the rubber at Parkview Field in Fort Wayne for the first time in 2025, it felt surreal.
Facing the Lansing Lugnuts on April 4, he induced a ground out from Sahid Valenzuela, struck out Rodney Green, Jr., and got another ground out from Tommy White.
It was almost as if the Biggar, Saskatchewan native had never left, even though he had last appeared in a TinCaps uniform almost 23 months earlier before undergoing Tommy John surgery.”
