Like Father, Like Son

Sometimes when Ray Chadwick watches his son pitch he sees himself out there on the mound.

His son, Dawgs Academy alum Tyrelle, is also taking his game to the pros after being drafted by the Colorado Rockies.

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.

Magic Machej

As Eric Machej lined up at shortstop Friday at the Canadian Futures Showcase, there was a little more fanfare in the building than there had been throughout the week at Rogers Centre.

Jose Bautista was in Machej’s Team New Blue’s dugout.

The 18-year-old St. Albert Minor Baseball Association and Dawgs Academy product went about his business by smacking an RBI double.

The Rising Son

The baseball bloodlines run deep in the Chadwick household.

After his dad pitched for the Edmonton Trappers and California Angels in 1986, Tyrelle Chadwick is hoping to blaze his own trail in the sport.

So far so good for the Dawgs Academy product and Illinois State recruit.
