21-year-old infielder Mike Bazuin is leaving Sparta/Feyenoord Rotterdam to join city rival Neptunus Rotterdam for the upcoming season in the Dutch Hoofdklasse. He won’t be available at the beginning of the season, as he is enrolled at Cochise College, in Douglas, Arizona since last year. He is the fourth new player for the reigning champion besides Arshwin Asjes, Tim Roodenburg and Sape Wagenaar. Steve Janssen (pitching coach national team), Jeroen Sluijter (retired), Martijn Meeuwis (Twins), Danny Rombley (UVV), Dushan Ruzic (Australia/Rimini) and Roy Seltenrijch (Kinheim) have left the club.
