Former Team Saskatchewan player and Regina Red Sox coach Scott Douglas has died at the age of 57.

Greg Brons, Baseball Saskatchewan’s high performance director, shared the news of Douglas’s passing on the Team Saskatchewan Baseball Facebook page on Wednesday.

“Sad news in baseball circles as we mourn the loss of Scott Douglas,” wrote Brons. “Scott Douglas was a member of Team Saskatchewan that won a silver medal at [the] Canada Games [in] 1989. He played with the Moose Jaw Millers in the SMBL and then professionally in the Prairie Baseball League [with the] Regina Cyclones . . . Our prayers and condolences to family and close friends during this time.”

Douglas (Moose Jaw, Sask.) also coached at Trinidad State Junior College for a dozen seasons and at Colorado Christian University for one campaign.

His resume also included stops as an assistant coach at Hardin-Simmons University, Northern Iowa and Northern Colorado.

Douglas returned to Saskatchewan in the summer to lead the Regina Red Sox in 2006 and 2007 and again in 2014 and 2015.

“The Regina Red Sox are saddened to learn of the passing of former coach Scotty Douglas . . . Our condolences go out to his family, and those closest,” the team said in a statement on Wednesday.

The Moose Jaw Miller Express also added their condolences.

“Scott was a proud member of the Moose Jaw baseball community and a familiar face at local diamonds for many years,” the Express said in a statement. “Growing up in Moose Jaw, he suited up for the Moose Jaw Astros (now Miller Express) in the early 1990s and later played with the Diamond Dogs (professional team in Moose Jaw 1995 to 1997), leaving a lasting impact on those who had the opportunity to play alongside him and watch him compete.

“Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Scott’s family, friends, and all who knew him during this difficult time.”

Douglas is survived by his wife Keri and two sons, Kade and Seth.
