Rochester, Minnesota – The Rochester Honkers have announced the hiring of Aaron Levin as the Field Manager beginning the 2025 season.  Levin replaces Cade Peters, who has taken a new job at the University of the Pacific.

The new skipper was quoted, “ I am really excited to start working with the Rochester Honkers. I have heard great things about this team and the Northwoods League. Along with my staff, I’m looking forward to putting out an energetic and competitive team each day while continuing to develop talented players throughout the summer.”

General Manager, Clint Narramore said about the hiring, “after talking to a number of candidates, Aaron stood out not only because of his impressive resume, but also because he emphasized his goal of not only winning, but also developing our guys into better players and men.  He wants to send these guys back to their schools better than when they arrive.  Aaron has been successful everywhere he has been, and we anticipate that to translate to the Honkers and that they will be winners on the field, and men of character off of it.”
