Numerous WCBL grads have gone to play top levels of professional baseball including: Matt Wilkinson (Cleveland Guardians), Tristan Peters (Tampa Bay Rays), Gavin Logan (Arizona Diamondbacks), Jacob Melton (Houston Astros), Kody Funderburk (Minnesota Twins), Andrew Kittredge (Boston Red Sox), and Alejo Lopez (Oakland A’s). Andrelton Simmons (Atlanta Braves), Marco Gonzales (Seattle Mariners), Andrew Albers (Minnesota Twins), John Axford (Milwaukee Brewers), Dustin Molleken (Detroit Tigers), Josh Taylor (Boston Red Sox), Erik Sabrowski (Cleveland Guardians).

Another WCBL and Dawgs alumni, now serving as a pitching coach in MLB is Calgary’s own Jim Henderson (Milwaukee Brewers and New York Mets).

Last year saw 12 former WCBL players drafted in the 2024 MLB Draft, including representation from five of the WCBL’s franchises.
