Take Antoine Jean for example.
He didn’t have to battle a bad-hop single or a bad call on the black by the umpire.

Why would it be?
Baseball wasn’t part of his repertoire.
The young teen was busy dribbling a soccer ball around cones at the field, not coming set on the mound about to throw a zinger to the catcher.

Tyler has a Canadian passport.
And he’s really good ... no, we mean really, really good.”

The Black Bears have the most Canucks of any of the six teams with Connor Hicks of the Southeastern Fire, University of British Columbia Thunderbirds’ Jonny McGill and Scott Rienguette from Kansas State Wildcats.”
