The Hillsboro Hops had their first year as a full-season league. Previously, they had been one of Arizona’s short-season affiliates, playing in the Northwest League since the franchise moved from Yakima in 2013. As the Hops, they won three titles in 2014, 2015 and the league’s final title in 2019. But it was all change after the reorganization of minor-league baseball this season. Along with much of the Northwest League, they moved up to the High-A level, becoming one of three leagues at that level.
Overall performance
Under manager Vince Harrison, the Hops finished with a record of 52-60.
