Get in and win.

That’s the goal of the Brooks Bombers in 2025.

Can the “Bomb Squad” up their game this summer?

7th Inning Stretch: Brett Potter

Easter came early this year for Brett Potter.

But instead of collecting chocolate-covered eggs and other treats, the University of Calgary Dinos infielder was collecting home runs against the Vancouver Island University Mariners.

Medicine Hat Mavericks 2025 Preview

Seemingly a lock to make playoffs every year, the Medicine Hat Mavericks consistently field competitive teams each summer.

The Mavs squared off against the Okotoks Dawgs in the 2023 Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) championship final – a best-of-three series they ultimately lost in three games – and they bowed out in the opening round of the postseason to the Saskatoon Berries in 2024.

Medicine Hat will seek to find the same winning formula they’ve applied to the regular season year after year and adapt it for success in the playoffs, where the team will push for a return to the WCBL final yet again.

Calling for Cohen

It’s hard to believe that just one year ago, Cohen Achen was putting the wraps on an exceptional collegiate career at Lindsey Wilson College and was getting ready to play summer baseball with the Intercounty Baseball League’s London Majors.

The Calgary native was instead drafted by the Baltimore Orioles and is now in cruise control moving up the team’s depth charts.

You’ll have to excuse coaches, players, personnel and fans of the Fort McMurray Giants if they’re caught singing “Get Back” this summer.

For the Giants, where they once belonged is the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) postseason.

Rye Pothakos – the director of recruiting and baseball operations, as well as the head coach of the Regina Red Sox – is also set to be recognized this year. The longtime skipper and scout has been named as an inductee to the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame.

Meanwhile, the Lethbridge Bulls were quietly turning in a solid campaign.

After pushing the WCBL champion Okotoks Dawgs to the brink in the playoffs, what can we expect from the Bulls this year?

Sylvan Lake Gulls 2025 Preview

No team was hotter than the Sylvan Lake Gulls heading into the postseason.

The Lake Boys rattled off 10 straight wins and finished the 2024 regular season with a Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) record 44 victories as they entered the playoffs.

Then the Dawgs took over. What can the Gulls do to get past their biggest rivals?

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.

A Flame-Throwing Family

The family’s name is synonymous with baseball in Southern Alberta.
