“Bould” Moves This Week – Volume 7
Boulders Add Gutsy Pitcher, Talented Outfielder
Pomona, NY – The New York Boulders and manager TJ Stanton are excited to announce two more acquisitions – RHP Connor Godwin and OF Aaron Simmons — for the upcoming 2026 Frontier League season:
Godwin, a 24-year-old native of upstate Horseheads, NY, comes to Rockland County as a paragon of perseverance. The free agent signee joined the Los Angeles Dodgers’ organization in 2022, but after multiple elbow surgeries, didn’t make his debut with the franchise until 2025. He averaged better than a strikeout per inning last season (43.2 IP, 50 K) for the Rancho Cucamunga Quakes.
Simmons, who turned 27 last Saturday, joins the Boulders after being traded from the Schaumburg Boomers for a player to be named later. He was the Boomers’ home run leader (12) in 2024, finishing second on the squad with 54 RBI and third with an .844 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage), and committed 0 errors last season in 68 games (126 chances).
The lefty-hitting Wisconsinite played his college ball at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, earning First Team All-America honors in 2022 as he helped the Pointers reach the D-III College World Series.
The Boulders embark on their 15th Anniversary Season when they host the Brockton Rox on Thursday, May 7, at 7:00pm EDT.

Since debuting in 1993, the Frontier League has become the largest and longest running of the modern independent leagues, and features teams stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River and from the Ohio River to the St. Lawrence Seaway. In September of 2020, the Frontier League reached an agreement to become a “Partner League” with Major League Baseball.
As a “Partner League,” the Frontier League and its teams meet on a regular basis with MLB representatives to discuss joint marketing and promotional opportunities, as well as collaborate on initiatives to provide organized baseball to communities throughout the United States and Canada.
