Kevin Glew named recipient of 2022 Bob Elliott Media Recognition Award 

December 22, 2022

The Bob Elliott Media Recognition Award is named after Bob Elliott, a former winner (2012) of the BBWAA Career Excellence Award, the highest award given by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA), presented annually by the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Elliott covered both the Montréal Expos and Toronto Blue Jays during a distinguished career that spanned four decades, but it’s Bob’s long-lasting contributions to Canadian baseball and raising the profile of Canadians in the game and telling their stories which has resulted in this award being named after him. The Kingston, Ontario native’s Canadian Baseball Network website has been a go-to source for information for years from Canadian baseball sandlots all the way to the big leagues. When a Canadian reaches the majors, chances are the Canadian baseball community read about them years earlier via Elliott and the Canadian Baseball Network. His coverage of Canadian prospects eligible for the annual MLB Draft has must read material for years while his annual Top 100 Most Influential Canadians in Baseball list has provided deserved recognition for many year-over-year. It’s through Bob’s work that he’s forged relationships across Canada allowing him to tell great Canadian baseball stories to this very day.

U18 World Cup Qualifier: Canada repeated a dominant performance against Peru

November 10, 2022

Canada 14-1 Peru   SAN JOSE DEL CABO, Mexico – The Junior National Team repeated a dominant performance against Peru with a 14-1 victory. This was the second time these two ballclubs matched up against each other in the U18 Americas Baseball World Cup Qualifier, with Canada winning the first meeting 11-1.   Makaio Cisneros (Whitby, ON) was the starter for the Juniors working the full five innings, allowing only one hit and one earned run while striking out six. The right-hander was dominant early on filling up the strike zone and putting up quick zeros against his opponents. Cisneros carried a no-hit bid until the top of the fifth, where he allowed a solo shot that would represent all the offence for Peru on this ballgame.   The Canadian bats were on fire early and often in this one as they scored 14 runs on fourteen hits. Myles Naylor (Mississauga, ON) finished the day a perfect 3-for-3 and five RBI’s as he dispatched a pair of home runs, including a grand slam. Ty Doucette (Dartmouth, NS) smashed a 2-run home run of his own over his 1-for-2 performance. Ty Hamilton (Orleans, ON) was a spark in the middle of the order for the Juniors, collecting three hits in four at bats while driving in three runs.   Canada improved its record to 2-3 as they get set to face Cuba on Saturday, November 12 for their last game of the placement round.
