Bruin Bombs

Logan Grant is now the Bellevue University Bruins’ all-time home runs leader.

After a slow start to the 2025 season, the Dawgs Academy grad and Okotoks Dawgs utilityman has topped Riley Baasch on the list.

OPINION: The Nightmare in Calgary

You have to think that baseball people in Calgary look at Okotoks and wonder “what if?”

What if the city had backed the Dawgs instead of forcing them out?

With Foothills Stadium being torn down, it leaves a giant void in the city’s baseball landscape.

1 Thru 9: Kingston Besuijen

Representing his home province will never get old for Kingston Besuijen.

While the Okotoks native has done it before, the Dawgs Academy product says it went to another level when he did it on home turf with Baseball Alberta at the 2024 Canada Cup in Fort McMurray.

We get to know Besuijen in the latest 1 Thru 9.

Might As Well Jump

It’s there for the taking and Tristan Peters is ready to grab it.

The outfielder made a name for himself with the Triple-A Durham Bulls by making spectacular diving catches in the International League this year.

In 2025, he wants to make the jump to Major League Baseball (MLB).

Mackwood Named CBN/Dawgs Scholarship Winner

The Canadian Baseball Network and Okotoks Dawgs have unveiled their annual scholarship award winner.

Pitcher Trey Mackwood is set to head to Panola College in 2025.

CBN’s Bob Elliott has more on the right-hander’s baseball journey.

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.

Max Velocity

After seeing all that Western Canada has to offer, Max Poirier is ready for something different.

Born in Saskatchewan, raised in B.C. and now trained in Alberta, the Dawgs Academy product has now committed to the University of Miami.

He’s coming off a stellar year where he played for the Baseball Canada Junior National Team and starred at the Canadian Futures Showcase.

WCBL Championship Preview

And then there were two.

It will be the Okotoks Dawgs and Moose Jaw Miller Express doing battle for the Western Canadian Baseball League title in a rematch from 2022.

Head of the Class

Travis Bazzana is a devoted student of the game of baseball, but the high-end prospect with the Cleveland Guardians is also a teacher.

As you talk to the first overall pick in the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft, and you chat with those around him, it becomes clear that the infielder will leave no stone unturned when it comes to improving his game and the play of his teammates.

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.
