Franchise’s single-season RBI record-holder looks to guide Sussex County back to playoffs
The Sussex County Miners are pleased to welcome back infielder Sean Roby Jr.
A 6’1”, 235-pound infielder from Indio, CA, Roby was named to the 2025 Frontier League All-Star team during his first season with the Miners. He and first baseman Mahki Backstrom quickly became one of the most dangerous duos in the league. Roby set a Miners single-season record of 88 RBI—finishing second in the league—while batting .319 with 16 home runs and 94 hits.
Roby was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 12th round of the 2018 MLB June Amateur Draft from Arizona Western College (Yuma, AZ). In 2024, he reached as high as Triple-A with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, the minor league affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
Join Sean Roby Jr. and the Miners for their home opener at Skylands Stadium on Friday, May 8, 2026, against the Down East Bird Dawgs. Single-game, half-season, and season tickets are now on sale at tickets.sussexcountyminers.com.
