Six Storylines to Watch in 2026

The numbers don’t tell the whole story but they are revealing.

As we went through the 2025 baseball season, we didn’t really realize just how many stories we were writing.

And now we’re gearing up for an even busier 2026 with several big storylines we’ll be following.

Bird on the Wire

When Braidy Birdsall puts her mind to something, nothing is getting in her way.

Even when facing injuries, she’s the first to pick herself back up and get motivated to overcome the obstacle.

It’s a mindset that has served her well as an athlete, including in baseball where she’s been chosen in the Women’s Pro Baseball League draft.

She’s had a taste of representing Canada and Taylor Schueller now wants more.

The 17-year-old utility player was a mainstay on Baseball Sask teams this summer, earning a spot on the national squad’s development camp roster.

And now, she’s dreaming even bigger.

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.

Hockey has one. So does basketball. Soccer as well. And now, it’s baseball’s turn.

The Women’s Pro Baseball League is set to take to the field in 2026 with six teams in the northeastern United States.

We chat with athletes in Saskatchewan who are excited about the possibilities.
