McFarland: Versatile Babiuk starts new WCBL season with Medicine Hat
“Jaden Babiuk is hoping he can accomplish something in college that only five players have done in Major League Baseball history.
After taking the field at five positions for the Valley City State University Vikings in 2024, the St. Albert product started thinking about the potential of playing all nine positions in a single game.
Only Bert Campaneris, Cesar Tovar, Scott Sheldon, Shane Halter and Andrew Romine have done it at the MLB level.
And while he wouldn’t be able to do it with 10 teams like Will Ferrell did in Spring Training, Babiuk says it is on his bucket list heading into his senior season with the Vikings.”
