The Aces have 25 active players and five on the disabled list.

Twenty players of the 25-man roster made their way to the Major Leagues in 2017 and 12 are currently on the Diamondbacks 40-man roster.
“This is the most talent I’ve seen on one Triple-A roster in a long time,” said Aces President Eric Edelstein. “We were thrilled to welcome back the reigning PCL MVP, Christian Walker, and overwhelmed at the offense with bats like Cesar Puello and Yasmany Tomas, as well as having pitching for days with Nevada Wolf Pack alum Braden Shipley leading the way.”
The Aces are once again led by Manager Greg Gross who returns for his second season in Reno. Also returning to the coaching staff is pitching coach Gil Heredia and coach Mike Lansing. Jason Camilli joins the staff and will serve as the hitting coach.
