Ottawa, Ont. - The Ottawa Titans have agreed to terms on a contract extension with infielder Michael Fuhrman and signed infielder Joey Wright for the upcoming 2025 Frontier League season.

Fuhrman, 24, returns to Ottawa for his third professional campaign in 2025. During his first full season with the Titans in 2024, Fuhrman hit .213 with 11 doubles, two triples, four home runs, and 31 RBIs across 81 contests. In June, Fuhrman carried the Titans’ offence by slugging .333 (22-for-66) with eight extra-base hits and knocking 17 runs to help the squad to an 18-7 month. During that stretch, it included a season-best six-game hit streak and a career-best four-hit contest on June 1. In his first full season as a catcher, Fuhrman threw out 29 baserunners, good enough to lead the Frontier League.

After signing in Ottawa at the tail end of the 2023 season – Fuhrman suited up in 20 games, where the 5-foot-10 infielder hit .241 with a homer and eight RBIs. Fuhrman notched at least a hit in 12 contests, which included his first pro-round-tripper.

Wright, 23, will head north of the border in 2025 after completing his collegiate career and a stint professionally last summer. During his senior season at Immaculata University (Immaculata, Pa.), Wright hit .393 with 14 doubles, clubbed nine home runs, and drove in 56 over 44 contests.

Wright completed the season with the Garden City Wind of the Pecos League, in which he hit .389 with 11 doubles, eight home runs, and knocked in 46 runs over 34 games. The 6-foot right-handed hitter presents the ability to play third base, second base, and first base.

The Cherry Hill, N.J product took part in 167 career collegiate games at Immaculata from 2020 to 2024 and was a lifetime .350 hitter with 55 doubles, 22 home runs, and 177 RBIs. Wright also compiled a career .443 on-base percentage while playing for the Mighty Macs and won three consecutive conference championships.

Wright is the brother of two-time Frontier League all-star AJ Wright, who is the Titans’ all-time leader in games played (277), runs scored (220), hits (295), walks (166), doubles (62), home runs (39), and RBIs (163) over three seasons in Ottawa.
