OPINION: 10 Familiar Faces for Canada

The youth movement has arrived for Canada and it looks like it will be on full display at the 2026 World Baseball Classic.

With the World Series now complete, many baseball insiders have now turned their attention to the next installment of what turned out to be a major coup for the sport in 2023.

We take a look at a few Saskatchewan and Alberta names who could get the call for the next tournament.

To Koozma from Ty Cobb – Letters to Saskatchewan

Some stories in baseball history aren’t defined by box scores or batting averages but by the unexpected connections that cross generations and geography.

Guest contributor Robyn Jensen looks back at how a teenage boy from Saskatoon befriended baseball legend Ty Cobb.

Celebrating Baseball Sask’s Best of 2025

It was another big year for Baseball Sask with more medals and increasing interest at the grassroots.

The provincial organization successfully navigated another typical prairie summer, including a few more rainouts and smoky days than they would have preferred.

We take a look back at the annual Baseball Sask Awards.

A Comeback Season to Remember

When Garrett Hawkins toed the rubber at Parkview Field in Fort Wayne for the first time in 2025, it admittedly felt surreal.

Facing the Lansing Lugnuts on April 4, he induced a ground out from Sahid Valenzuela, struck out Rodney Green, Jr., and another ground out from Tommy White.

It was a sign of things to come for the Biggar, Saskatchewan native.

Kil-lin’ It

The baseball season just keeps getting longer for Aiden Kilshaw – not that he minds at all.

The Swift Current native has seen opportunity after opportunity come his way over the last few months, and he’s been determined to make the most of every one of them.

Dreaming of Draft Day

There was a time when Addie Ziebart found herself wondering if she should quit baseball.

Now, she finds herself on the cusp of potentially being drafted into the new Women’s Pro Baseball League (WPBL) in November.

OPINION: The Road to Okotoks

The road to Canadian baseball academy supremacy will go through Okotoks.

The idea of an academy national championship has been tossed around for years as programs want to show how they stack up against each from coast to coast to coast.

Joe McFarland shares some thoughts on how it’ll now be happening in Okotoks, Alberta.

Okotoks to Host Canadian Academy Championship

The road to Canadian baseball academy supremacy will run through Okotoks.

Baseball Canada and Dawgs Academy have announced the launch of “The Road to Okotoks” national championship, which will see 16 elite academy teams compete for the Morneau Cup.

Rauck is Rollin’

Like many Canadian kids who loved baseball, Mitchell Rauckman grew up as a fan of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Even though he is primarily a pitcher himself, the Saskatoon native always enjoyed watching slugger Josh Donaldson.

He’s been to Rogers Centre to watch his favourite team play, and now he gets the opportunity to step on the turf at the Canadian Futures Showcase.

Remembering Jim Baba

He was a Canadian baseball giant.

Jim Baba had a profound impact on the game across Canada and around the globe, regarded as a well-respected and influential leader who served in a variety of roles including executive director of Baseball Canada from 2000 to 2021.

Baba recently passed away at the age of 69 following a long battle with blood cancer, resulting in a tidal wave of tributes from across the baseball world.
