Daril Dominates Derby

For a third straight year, a prospect from an Alberta academy has been crowned the Canadian Futures Showcase Home Run Derby champion.

It was Daril Rodriguez (Red Deer, Alta.), of St. Joseph’s Ball Academy, who dialed up the three-peat, belting 17 total home runs across two rounds (two minutes each, with a 30-second timeout available).

1 Thru 9: Jake Brooks

It felt like it was only a matter of time before Jake Brooks was going to be able to make his commitment announcement.

After being a key part of the provincial and national champion Red Deer Braves, the dependable middle infielder is heading to Colby Community College in 2025.

We ask Brooks a series of questions as part of our 1 Thru 9 series.
