The Billings Mustangs have announced their roster for the 2018 season. They will begin play on Friday evening. Their roster has 30 players on it, and is subject to change before the season kicks off (though it is unlikely).
The Pitchers
| Pos | Player |
| P | Andrew McDonald |
| P | Andy Cox |
| P | Connor Bennett |
| P | Connor Curlis |
| P | Edward Escoboza |
| P | Jacob Wyrick |
| P | Jared Solomon |
| P | Jeremy Kivel |
| P | Jose Castillo |
| P | Justin McGregor |
| P | Luis Alecis |
| P | Mac Sceroler |
| P | Matt Pidich |
| P | Miguel Aguilar |
| P | Ricardo Smith |
| P | Ricky Salinas |
| P | Ryan Campbell |
There are some interesting names on the pitcher list. A lot of guys are returning to Billings. Some guys are REALLY returning. Jeremy Kivel is coming back from Tommy John surgery and last pitched in 2016. He pitched for the Mustangs in 2014. The roster has seven 2018 draft picks on the pitching staff. Who makes up the rotation, at least right this second, is unknown.
Infielders
| Pos | Player |
| INF | Carlos Rivero |
| INF | Francis Azcona |
| 1B | Jake Turnbull |
| C | Jay Schuyler |
| INF | Nadir Ljatifi |
| C | Pabel Manzanero |
| C | Robert Boselli |
| SS | Urwin Juaquin |
Only two new players on the infield for the Mustangs this season and both are catchers. Jay Schuyler, the 7th round pick of the Reds, and Robert Boselli, the 37th round pick, are both making their way to Montana to being their careers.
Outfielders
| Pos | Player |
| OF | Bren Spillane |
| OF | Drew Mount |
| OF | Mariel Bautista |
| OF | Raul Wallace |
| OF | Zeke White |
The outfield also has some returning players, but three guys will be making their Mustangs debuts. 3rd round pick Bren Spillane will be moving to the outfield for his professional debut. It could be fun to follow how well his power plays in the very hitter friendly league. He’ll be joined by Mariel Bautista and 16th round pick Drew Mount as the newbies on the roster.
Top Prospect
There are two guys that jumped to the top of the list for me on this one, Mariel Bautista and Bren Spillane. Bautista’s got the edge on defense and the hit tool. But the overall package with huge power gives 3rd round pick Bren Spillane the edge right now as the top prospect on the roster.
