Wolfpack baseball hits jackpot with high school prospects
KAMLOOPS — The best high school baseball players from across Western Canada are in Kamloops this weekend for the Best of the West baseball tournament, giving scouts an early-season look at some of the prospects they may want to pursue.
This year, the TRU Wolfpack are benefitting greatly from the crop of talent. In fact, manager Ray Chadwick has hit the jackpot, recruiting 13 players from the tournament this year.
“We’ve got a kid pitching for White Rock who’s going to pitch for us for four years, Saylor Gray,” says Chadwick. “We’ve got a third baseman from Ontario, Malik James who can hit and play the game. He’s going to be good for us. We’ve got Jason Wilburn, another left-handed pitcher, which we are in desperate of, left-handed pitching, so we got four of them coming in.”
