7th Inning Stretch: Brett Getz

Brett Getz has become a big piece of the Lethbridge Bulls starting rotation this summer.

The Medicine Hat native’s performance has earned him a spot at the circuit’s All-Star Game after a couple of years with different teams.

Lethbridge Bulls 2025 Preview

Fans had plenty of drama and storylines to follow during the 2024 Western Canadian Baseball League season.

Meanwhile, the Lethbridge Bulls were quietly turning in a solid campaign.

After pushing the WCBL champion Okotoks Dawgs to the brink in the playoffs, what can we expect from the Bulls this year?

1 Thru 9: Langdyn Cummins

He might not be the biggest player on the field, but Langdyn Cummins is always doing something to make a big difference.

The 5-foot-9, 155-pound shortstop and outfielder is also very patient in waiting for the right opportunity to come his way, as witnessed by his performance at the 2024 Blue Jays Academy Canadian Futures Showcase.

Engaged in the Process

A promotion to the big leagues is so close, Adam Macko can almost touch it.

And if everything goes according to plan, the young left-hander would like to do it sometime in 2025.

The highly touted Toronto Blue Jays prospect is coming off a year which saw him play at three different levels, with his final start coming with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.

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.

OPINION: Alberta’s Big MLB Draft Presence

The MLB Draft Class of 2024 was a big one for Alberta.

With five Albertans being named and a few others with connections to our province, it was the biggest contingent since 2011, despite being half the size.

Joe McFarland says this should be a sign of things to come.

The Bash Brothers

After growing up in BC, Carlin and Cardel Dick have forged similar paths in baseball.

After spending time at Vauxhall Academy of Baseball, they are now part of the Canadian contingent at Division 1 schools stateside.

Hawk Eyes Return

Vauxhall Academy of Baseball grad Garrett Hawkins has been rising up the San Diego Padres’ depth chart since being drafted in 2019.

However, his plans have hit a roadblock after undergoing Tommy John surgery in August.

As Tyson Shushkewich reports, the right-hander is still hoping to return in 2024.

Ice Burg

Sitting in the stands of a hockey rink as a scout, Josh Burgmann says he’s really happy with how life has turned out.

It’s a far cry from his days as a baseball player, rising through the ranks with Vauxhall Academy, the University of Washington and being a Chicago Cubs draft pick.

Now the head scout and director of player personnel of the Nanaimo Clippers, Burgmann reflects on his time in baseball with no regrets.

The Ricky Ro! Show

Life often pulls you in different directions.

At times, the path it sets you on can be rather unexpected.

On this particular snow-swept March night on the prairies, former Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ricky Romero found himself pulled to Vauxhall for a fundraising banquet that was being hosted by the Vauxhall Academy of Baseball.
