FARGO, N.D. — The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks re-signed infielder Correlle Prime and pitcher Tyler Pike Tuesday and signed former St. Paul Saints pitcher Todd Van Steensel.

Prime, 25, appeared in 97 games for the RedHawks in 2019 and led the team with 18 home runs and 77 RBIs. He hit .312 over 385 at bats and was named the American Association’s August Player of the Month. Prime will return for his third season of independent baseball, and second with Fargo-Moorhead, in 2020. He previously played for the Texas AirHogs after seven seasons in the Colorado Rockies organization.

Pike, 26, will also return for his second season with the RedHawks in 2020 after starting 15 games for Fargo-Moorhead last summer. The left-hander went 8-3 with a 3.19 ERA over 87.1 innings pitched.
