Saskatchewan’s team for the Baseball Canada Cup may not have as big a selection of players to choose from as Ontario, Québec or British Columbia, but they will always put together a team that will compete to the end.
Saskatchewan coach, Greg Brons thinks his team has a legitimate chance at taking a medal in this tournament.
“If our pitching staff keeps the ball down and throw some strikes, I think we have a great shot at surprising some teams,” says Brons.
There are three players returning to the squad from last year’s team and Brons hopes they can provide some leadership for this young group.
“We’re pretty strong up the middle with Jon Cotter (Moose Jaw) as our shortstop,” says Brons. “We’re looking at Dustin Caplette (Moose Jaw), one of our pitchers from last year to lead, and there is Derek Wallace (Oxbow) at first base who is returning.”
Saskatchewan will be holding a training camp in early August and play an exhibition game against Alberta before making their way to Québec.
The 2007 Baseball Canada Championships are a single site event that will be held in Québec City from August 8-12 and August 16-19.
