1 Thru 9: Rhett Anderson

He made an immediate impact with Baseball Sask at the 2025 Canada Summer Games and hopes it’s a sign of things to come.

Rhett Anderson started the tournament off going 2-for-3 with a pair of singles and a walk in Saskatchewan’s 8-1 thumping of Alberta and was a consistent presence near the middle of the batting order as the province eventually claimed bronze.

1 Thru 9: Casey Rauckman

When you’re among the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League leaders in almost every offensive category, it’s only a matter of time before people start to take notice.

Saskatoon Diamondbacks utilityman Casey Rauckman found himself in that position after posting a .429 batting average to go along with a .741 slugging percentage, 1.252 on-base percentage, five home runs and 28 runs batted in.

1 Thru 9: Matthew Tran

There’s being a pilot and then there’s being a Pilot.

Matthew Tran aspires to being both and will soon fulfill one of those dreams when he suits up for the University of Portland Pilots after he graduates high school this spring.

1 Thru 9: Graydn Wilson

A different kind of Saskatchewan storm is heading south next fall.

Instead of a booming thunderhead over the prairies, it will be Lanigan’s Graydn Wilson taking his baseball talents to Southwestern Illinois College.

The Going Yard Academy product joins us for the first “1 Thru 9” of 2026.

1 Thru 9: Lukas Kaufmann

Lukas Kaufmann leaves no doubt about his love of baseball.

As he’s asked questions about his journey in the game, he’s eloquent and thorough, making sure to pay tribute to where he’s been while being excited about where he’s going.

Where he’s going is the University of British Columbia (NAIA) in the fall.

1 Thru 9: Kyrell Adair

Growing up in Swift Current, Kyrell Adair dreamed of one day suiting up for the hometown 57s.

The 6-foot-1, 166-pound utilityman got his chance on July 31, getting the call from the bullpen in the third inning of a game against the Medicine Hat Mavericks.

Since then, he’s repped Baseball Sask and committed to Trinidad State College.
