Signing of utility player Thomas Richards

The Chatham-Kent Barnstormers are excited to announce the signing of utility player Thomas Richards.

Hailing from North Delta, British Columbia , Richards joins the Barnstormers after an outstanding 2025 season with the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades, where he batted .309 in 30 games, scoring 20 runs and driving in 22 while showcasing exceptional plate discipline by drawing more walks than strikeouts.

A proven leader on and off the field, Thomas captained the Cascades to a CCBC Championship, earned Second Team All-CCBC honours as an outfielder and was named the team’s Most Valuable Player.

Standing 5’10” and 185 pounds, Richards is a versatile athlete with the ability to drive the ball to all fields and enough power to clear the Field House beyond the fence at Fergie Jenkins Field.

Welcome to the Barnstormers, Thomas!
