McFarland: Oudie-Senger looking forward to third summer with hometown Regina Red Sox
“Zander Oudie-Senger will never say “no” to signing an autograph for a young fan around Currie Field.
After all, it wasn’t that long ago that the Regina Red Sox pitcher was a kid with a Sharpie and a baseball in hand, hoping to get his favourite players to do the same.
Not only was he a regular to games with his Nana, but Oudie-Senger’s family also billeted several players over the years.
“Each player that came into our house felt like an older brother,” he told Saskatchewan Dugout Stories. “All of those guys have shed light into our family and I couldn’t be more grateful for each of them.”
Now entering his third season with the hometown team, the 21-year-old will be a veteran presence on a team looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2023.”
