“Matt Davidson has hit 385 home runs in his first 17 pro seasons.
That’s a barrel full, a career for a lower case sultan of swat. So, you would think it might be difficult for the newest mystery member of Canada’s World Baseball Classic team to pick his favourite long ball?
“Most memorable?” repeated Davidson, the former Chicago White Sox bopper said from Peoria, Ariz. “Probably in 2018 ... opening day, I hit three in the same day, the third one was pretty special.”

“I was the last one cut off the team, and Babs was the one who gave me the news,” Clapp recalled during a Feb. 5 press conference announcing him and Baba as 2026 Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame inductees.
“I’ve always razzed him about it, but it was probably the absolute best news I could’ve got at that time,” Clapp continued.”

“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.

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.”
