WCBL Players to Watch 2024

The Western Canadian Baseball League season is now underway and we are already getting a glimpse into who could be game-changers this summer.

We take a look at all 12 WCBL teams and the one player from each who looks like they might be ready to become fan favourites in the coming months.

WCBL 2024 Season Preview

The questions start now.

Will the Okotoks Dawgs claim the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) championship and three-peat for the second time in franchise history?

How will the expansion Saskatoon Berries look on the field after an off-season of marketing and promotional success?

So many questions … and the answers lie ahead.

Pride of Regina

His family spent years billeting young Regina Red Sox players.

Now, Zander Oudie-Senger is the one signing autographs for young fans at Currie Field.

The 21-year-old Okanagan College hurler will return for his third season with the Red Sox this summer.

Regina Red Sox 2024 Season Preview

The Regina Red Sox are looking to put together a bounce-back season this summer.

After claiming top spot in the East Division of the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) in 2022, the Red Sox suffered a first-round playoff loss to the Medicine Hat Mavericks. That postseason exit was followed by a 23-33 record in the 2023 regular season and another opening-round playoff loss to the Mavs.

Regina will set their sights on top spot in the division yet again in 2024, before the club looks to embark on a deep postseason run.

No Doubt About Whitt

The 2026 World Baseball Classic can’t come fast enough for Ernie Whitt.

The Baseball Canada manager believes his team is on the cusp of getting into the championship bracket of the tournament if all the stars align – literally.

Whitt will be the guest speaker at the Regina Red Sox annual banquet April 20.

Field of Seams

They’re having a ball in the Western Canadian Baseball League.

Good thing, too, because baseballs are a vital piece of equipment for the WCBL. You literally cannot play the game without them.

The league, with a dozen teams in Alberta and Saskatchewan, welcomes a new official baseball supplier this year.
