WINNIPEG, MAN. – The Winnipeg Goldeyes have announced that right-handed starting pitcher Landen Bourassa has signed with the club for the 2025 American Association season.

It will be the Lethbridge, Alberta native’s fifth season with the Goldeyes.

Bourassa made 20 starts in 2024, going 8-7 with a pair of complete games. He recorded a 4.01 earned run average in 119 innings.

The 28-year-old has compiled a 28-18 record with a 4.12 ERA and four complete games in his professional career – all of which has been with the Goldeyes. He is tied for fourth on the team’s all-time list with 59 games started.

Bourassa will be pitching for the Australian Baseball League’s Sydney Blue Sox this winter.

“We’re obviously thrilled that Landen will be back with us for 2025,” said Goldeyes’ skipper Logan Watkins. “He was a big part of the best pitching staff in the league last season, and I expect him to build off that. His consistent approach to pitching is invaluable and I hope Goldeyes fans are as excited as I am.”

The Goldeyes will open the 2025 campaign Thursday, May 8 against the Railroaders in Cleburne, Texas. The home opener at Blue Cross Park versus the Milwaukee Milkmen is scheduled for Tuesday, May 20 at 6:30 p.m.
