Pelletier finished the 2025 season with the London Majors of the Intercounty Baseball League, where he batted .243 with two home runs and four runs batted in in 11 games. The Repentigny, Québec native was chosen by the Texas Rangers in the 25th round of the 2019 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of École Secondaire Édouard-Montpetit (Montréal, Québec). Pelletier attended Kansas State University (Manhattan, Kansas) from 2022 to 2024 and the University of Kentucky (Lexington, Kentucky) in 2025. The 24-year-old hit .224 with 20 doubles and 19 home runs in 173 college contests. He drove in 70 runs. A former member of Canada’s National Junior Team, in 2018 Pelletier competed at the Pan American Baseball Confederation (COPABE) U-18 Pan-American Championships, winning a bronze medal. “We are excited to sign another young Canadian player in Pelletier,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “He’s going to strengthen our catching situation and give us opportunities to mix up the lineup a little bit. Raphaël is the kind of player our pitchers will enjoy throwing to, and his ability to throw out base runners will be critical when we face division opponents who like to run.” Pelletier is the seventh Canadian on the Goldeyes’ roster, joining pitcher Landen Bourassa (Lethbridge, Alberta), pitcher James Bradwell (North Vancouver, British Columbia), catcher/infielder Mason Dobie (Meaford, Ontario), infielder/outfielder Adam Hall (Lucan, Ontario), pitcher Eli Saul (Vancouver, British Columbia), and infielder T.J. Schofield-Sam (Mississauga, Ontario). Winnipeg now has 26 players under contract for the 2026 season.

The Vancouver, British Columbia native split the 2025 season between the Hillsboro Hops of the Class-A Advanced Northwest League and the Double-A Texas League’s Amarillo Sod Poodles. He compiled a 5-3 record with a 4.74 earned run average in 62.2 innings pitched over 53 appearances. Saul was originally drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 29th round of the 2019 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Prince of Wales Secondary School (Vancouver, British Columbia) but opted to attend college. He was selected a second time by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 13th round in 2022 after three seasons at California State University, Sacramento (Sacramento, California). Over four seasons in the Diamondbacks’ chain, the 24-year-old went 8-8 with a 4.94 ERA and eight saves in 136 games. “We’re excited to add another talented Canadian player to our roster,” said Goldeyes Skipper Logan Watkins . “Eli brings plenty of affiliated experience and a really strong arm. We expect him to be one of our power arms out of the bullpen and potentially a late-inning, high-leverage guy for us. I’m looking forward to seeing him throw in person and to seeing what he can do for our organization in 2026.” Saul is the sixth Canadian on the Goldeyes’ roster, joining Landen Bourassa (Lethbridge, Alberta), James Bradwell (North Vancouver, British Columbia), Mason Dobie (Meaford, Ontario), Adam Hall (Lucan, Ontario) and T.J. Schofield-Sam (Mississauga, Ontario). Winnipeg now has 25 players under contract for the 2026 season.
