One Flew Over

When Nathan Flewelling squared up a Riley Burton pitch on a sunny Sunday afternoon at Gulls Field in Sylvan Lake, everyone in the crowd knew the baseball wasn’t coming back.

It was a big moment for the team and the first WCBL homer for the Innisfail native, who is considered one of the top MLB Draft-eligible Canadians heading into this summer.

Scott’s Time to Pop

When Julianna Scott heard that Baseball Canada had named its Women’s National Team Selection Camp roster, her first thought was to find a post on Instagram and look for her friends and teammates.

She didn’t expect to see her name near the bottom of the first column in the official announcement.

Benny the Bear

Everywhere he goes, Benito Bonilla is turning heads.

If not for his 6-foot-4, 230-pound frame, the 18-year-old Missouri State commit is doing it with his baseball bat.

The Dawgs Academy and Okotoks Dawgs product is hoping to hear his name called in this summer’s MLB Draft.

Going to School

Who has the top high school baseball academy program in Canada?

The debate has only intensified over the years as more schools pop up from coast-to-coast.

Baseball Canada CEO Jason Dickson says it might be time to settle some scores, as his organization explores the idea of an academy national championship.

Trumpeting Tim

Representing his home country will never get old for Tim Piasentin.

Already having done it once at the Little League World Series and then again with Baseball Canada’s Junior National Team in 2023, the Dawgs Academy product is hoping to do it more in the years to come.

Always a Jet

Jim Kotkas knows the difference a good coach can make.

And after witnessing such people first-hand as a player, he became one.

No Ordinary Zoe

It’s one thing to represent Canada in one sport.

But to do it in two sports, especially as close as baseball and softball can be when it comes to scheduling, is very difficult.

Baseball Canada Women’s National Team MVP Zoe Hicks was able to do both seamlessly in 2023.

Key Addition

One of the best pitchers to ever suit up for the Toronto Blue Jays and a player who got his start in professional baseball in Alberta has been selected for induction in the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Lefty hurler Jimmy Key was one of six people named as part of the 2024 induction class recently, adding the honour to his list of achievements, which includes a pair of World Series rings and five Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star appearances.

Golden Eye

Landen Bourassa had himself a year to remember in 2023.

Not only was he among the American Association leaders in wins and complete games, the Lethbridge product was healthy and represented Canada for the first time at the Pan Am Games Qualifiers in Argentina.

No Doubt About Whitt

The 2026 World Baseball Classic canèt come fast enough for Ernie Whitt.

The Baseball Canada manager believes his team is on the cusp of getting into the championship bracket of the tournament if all the stars align – literally.

Ahead of his visit to Calgary for the Blue Jays Academy National Coaches Clinic, we chatted with the former MLB catcher about what it will take to get to the next level.
