Notes: The fastest 2B in Patriots history, May was the third piece that brought this clubhouse to level 5. Playing at the top of the lineup, stole 341 bases and scored 718 runs. His defense is still missed. |

Notes: Coming from Japan and serving as the primary catcher for years, was not a power hitter but his .304 AVG and .379 OBP do all the talking. Also playing OF and a little 2B, Masao Hara presented the Patriots with nothing less than greatness. |

Notes: The most prolific SS to play for Columbus in the Level 6 era, Leal combined with Masao Hara to bring the team to higher grounds. Great power hitter and the focus of Patriots offense, played mostly as SS but also served as 3B. Had one of the greatest seasons in Columbus history. |

Notes: Talk about legacy. Talk about royalty. In Columbus, being an amazing Shortstop is the norm. And Archuleta teached us what it is to be the King of the Kings! Rookie of the Year 2025. Most Valuable Player of the Year 2026-2027-2028-2029-2032 (in both levels 3 and 4). All-League Team SS in 2026-2027-2028-2029-2031-2032-2033-2034. 11 straight years with 100+ RBIs. 400+ carreer HRs. A down year in 2030 with 32 HRs and 105 RBI. 1900+ Games with the team. Words cannot describe his play. |

Notes: Villalobos followed Nieto's Cy Young with one hardwood for himself in 2018. His nasty curveball and effective changeup were in great part responsible for those amazing numbers. Three times an All-Star, Javier will always be praised in Ohio. |
#81 - Leonardo Nieto [ID #53599] P |

Notes: With a 119-70 record and 831 Ks Nieto, along with Villalobos, was a workhorse. The 1700+ IPs talk for itself and people still remember his CY Young 2017 season in Columbus. |

Notes: There's quite a few things you can expect in Columbus, Ohio. One of them is a strong SS on the field for the beloved Patriots. "Pags" was the greatest prospect of his time and transitioned to the Majors with a Rookie of the Year Award to call his own. Following the footsteps of a certain Angel Leal, "Pags" was three times part of the US Team, was selected five times for the All-Star team and ellected another five times for the All-League Team at 3 different positions: SS, 3B and DH. The engine behind a succesfull team which ascended from Level 6 in his rookie year until the Level 3 in his last ABs in Columbus, the Big Italian Papi will forever be associated as the reason of a great era in the state of Ohio. |
