Model of Consistency

The extra buzz around Carter Beck doesn’t seem to be affecting him at all.

The Carnduff native has rocketed up this summer’s Major League Baseball Draft rankings over his two seasons at Indiana State University.

Chance Encounter

Even Chance Descalchuk has a tough time describing the freshman season he’s having.

The Regina native was in a league of his own stepping onto the field with Miles Community College, finishing the year with a .452 batting average, 14 home runs, 64 runs batted in and 16 stolen bases in 41 games.

Running Wild

There is no quit in Kaden Prosofsky.

It would have been really easy for the Saskatoon native to mope around not being a starter as he began his freshman season at College of the Desert in Palm Desert, Calfornia.

Instead, he kept working hard and waiting patiently for his opportunity to shine.

7th Inning Stretch – Tyler Olfert

Tyler Olfert has seen a lot of Western Canada chasing his baseball dreams.

The Swift Current native has managed to play in all three western-most provinces during his journey to playing college baseball, including now with the Vancouver Island University Mariners.

Eye of a Tiger

Making the change from a junior college to a four-year school can sometimes be an uphill battle with plenty of stumbles along the way.

Not for Campbellsville University outfielder Kleysen Gabruck.

The Martensville native is picking up right where he left off after two star-studded seasons at Williston State College.

7th Inning Stretch: Jace Daku

It hasn’t taken Jace Daku long to earn Jake Lanferman’s trust.

In his freshman season with the Edmonton Collegiate Hawks, the Martensville native played in some important moments behind the plate while hitting .275 with five doubles, 11 runs batted in, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases in 25 games.

1 Thru 9: Axel Flodell

When he isn’t slinging fastballs, Axel Flodell can be found slinging a guitar over his shoulder.

The Clavet native would love to make a name for himself in both baseball and country music if the opportunities present themselves.

And it’s so far so good for the 17-year-old axeman.

Trojan Horse

Some baseball players like a game of cards on a long bus trip.

Others will pop in their earpods to listen to some music or binge their favourite show.

For Nathan Yunick, he’s good if you hand him a Rubik’s Cube.

Beck’s Big Goals

There were bound to be questions about the immediate impact Carter Beck could have when making the jump from Division II University of Mary to Division I Indiana State University before the 2025 season.

But the Carnduff product and Saskatoon Berries star had all the answers.

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.
