Wild Walk-Off

It was a wild way to end the Baseball Alberta Elite League championships.

A wild pitch helped the St. Albert Cardinals complete the comeback with a 5-4 extra innings win over the Calgary Cubs.

Herron’s Crossing

All Tyler Herron wanted was a chance to put his foot in professional baseball’s door.

The Grande Prairie native has always been willing to do whatever it takes to move up the ladder in baseball, whether it’s moving to a new town or changing schools.

He’s now into his first full pro season with the Tampa Bay Rays organization.

Hart of a Family

Baseball can bring families together, whether it’s weekend baseball tournaments, driving to different events across the country or playing catch in the yard on a Sunday afternoon.

That’s the exact case for Max and Eric Hartman.

Tyson Shushkewich of Canadian Baseball Network has more on their journeys.

I Heart Baseball

What do people love about baseball?

The answers are here …

2024 ADS All-College Team

In looking through the last five years of the ADS All-College Team rosters, there has always been a strong contingent of returning veterans year after year.

However, younger players have been knocking on the door every year and, this year, they broke through in a big way.

We present the fifth annual Alberta Dugout Stories All-College Team.

Going Blue

For someone who didn’t like baseball at first, Quincy Jenkins is doing pretty well for himself.

Born in Chicago, he remembers being in the car with his parents at nearby Northwestern University when another sport caught his eye.

After stops in St. Albert and with Dawgs Academy, the multi-tooled shortstop has committed to the University of Michigan.

Standing on Guard

It was kind of fitting that Erik Sabrowski had to wait a little while longer than he had hoped to make his Major League Baseball debut.

After getting through two Tommy John surgeries and the global pandemic just to turn pro, the St. Albert product made the best of the opportunity.

On Sept. 4, 2024, Sabrowski came out of the bullpen for the Cleveland Guardians against the Kansas City Royals.

Around the Horn

St. Albert’s Jaden Babiuk had himself another solid season at Valley City State University.

For a second year in a row, he’s been named Second-Team All-Conference.

What’s most impressive is he did it while switching positions from catcher to shortstop in early March.

Hartman a Hit at WSU

Max Hartman is no stranger to success on the baseball field.

From St. Alberta Minor Baseball up through Dawgs Academy and the Baseball Canada Junior National Team, he has always been a sought after commodity.

Hartman is proving why in his sophomore season at Washington State University.

Cooking at McCook

Looking back on his baseball journey, Jason Serafinchon believes he wouldn’t be where he is now had it not been for the decision to lose weight – a lot of weight.

After losing nearly 80 pounds at AHP Academy, he’s started turning heads with McCook Community College.

He hopes his performance this spring helps him find a four-year school to keep his baseball dream alive.
