“The Junior National Team has produced a ton of big league talent over the years – the Naylor Brothers, Denzel Clarke (Pickering, Ont.), Cade Smith (Abbotsford, B.C.), and numerous others.
Two new names are entering the fold, but at different stages of their baseball careers.
Will Hynes (Mississauga, Ont.) and Sean Duncan (Port Coquitlam, B.C.) are two of the latest success stories to emerge under the tutelage of Greg Hamilton and the JNT squad. Hynes heard his name called in the second round of the MLB Draft last summer, while Duncan continues to work towards his pro dreams as part of the eligible players for the 2026 MLB Draft. Both were on hand for the Baseball Canada Awards banquet in early January, as Hynes earned the Canadian Futures Award while Duncan took home his second Russell Martin JNT MVP Award.”
