Sliding Into Home

It was a special kind of homecoming for three members of the Energy City Cactus Rats.

Displaced by delays in building their new home in Spruce Grove, Nick Hagen, Ryan Kwasnycia and Easton Kitura enjoyed a weekend at Henry Singer Park.

The Wheels on the Bus

It was a long, long road for the Energy City Cactus Rats to get back to their new hometown.

The team has once again been the ultimate road warriors and are in the thick of the WCBL West Division playoff hunt.

They are the new/old kids in town.

Gone are the Edmonton Prospects and, in their place, the Energy City Cactus Rats will begin play during the 2025 Western Canadian Baseball League season.

Prospects Rebrand to Cactus Rats

Alberta can no longer claim to be rat free.

The Edmonton Prospects have rebranded to their newly minted identity and are now the Energy City Cactus Rats.

Ballpark Building Blocks

As the concrete walls and steel beams rise out of the dirt in Spruce Grove, a new ballpark is finally starting to take shape.

The forging of a new identity for a Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) franchise that will celebrate its 20th year of existence in 2025 is also underway.

With a moving in date set for June of next year, the multi-million dollar stadium project has moved well beyond photorealistic renderings and that much closer to becoming a reality.

Five-Tool Kitura

Easton Kitura still has a couple of years before he graduates high school.

The Spruce Grove native is still considered one of the best Canadian prospects eligible for the 2026 MLB Draft.

The Parkland Twins and Vauxhall Academy product is looking to turn more heads at the Canadian Futures Showcase.

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.

Prospects in the Park

It’s been a long four years since the Edmonton Prospects had a place to call “home.”

The Western Canadian Baseball League team has faced plenty of challenges in building the new Myshak Metro Ballpark.

Owner Pat Cassidy says construction is ongoing, but several challenges could affect opening day, meaning a backup plan is being looked at in Sherwood Park.

North Star Smith

Dawgs Academy grad LaRon Smith is chomping at the bit to get going.

After being chosen in the 25th round of the 2018 MLB Draft by Minnesota, he has been dealing with a transition to catching as well as injuries.

He’s putting it all behind him heading into the Twins’ 2020 Spring Training.
