Perez quote - "We are excited to complete our 2026 roster with the signing of Saskia Raab. We have followed Saskia's career from her travel ball days and high school. She is a great athlete who will help us in the outfield and behind the plate. She is athletic, a hard worker and wants to compete at the highest level. She also fills a need with bringing a lefty power bat to our lineup. Outside of what she brings on the field, she is also a great teammate and student in the classroom."
