Steph Petronzio has been coaching in Gatineau, Que. for roughly 35 years.
His best player ever?
Phillippe Aumont, the former first round pick, the star of the 2009 World Baseball Classic and now a member of the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen.
His next best ever?
Petronzio rated infielder Phillippe Craig-St. Louis amongst the next tier.
And this was before Craig-St. Louis won the 2014 Canadian Baseball Network player of the year, the best of the 802 Canadians playing the majority of their schedule south of the border.
Playing for the Seminole State Trojans he hit .352 with 15 doubles, three triples, 10 homers and 49 RBIs in 57 games. He had a .985 OPS.

2014 Canadian Baseball Network All-Canadian stats
=======================================
Craig-St. Louis earned the starting spot on the all-Canadian team garnering most first place votes than West Alabama Tigers DH Mitch Holgate (Windsor, Onr.). Defending Canadian college player of the year Ryan Kellogg of Arizona State Sun Devils, who again was the top lefty.
When the Phillies season ends Aumont has returned to Sanscartier Park to see Craig-St. Louis play in the fall with the Attak de Gatineau in the Montreal AAA midget league. He also coaches Polyvalente Nicolas Gatineau, along with Sebastien Boucher.
“He’s a grinder, he’s always battling, he’s a really hard competititor,” Aumont said from Gatineau. “Those were the things that Steph taught us ... to battle to the end, he’s one of the few who has gone further than junior elite.
“Every time I see him he doesn’t goes do without a battle. He never gets cheated. If he’s 0-or-1 he knows in his next at-bat he can still be 1-for-2 with a base hit. If he’s 0-for-2 he still has a chance to go 1-for-3.”
When Petronzio brings his team to Florida during March break -- whether it was four years ago when they were at to Vero Beach or this spring when they were at St. Petersburg -- Aumont always stops by to see his old team play.
The man has not forgotten his roots. Much like Joey Votto, Roy Halladay or Pat Hentgen who have not forgotten where they came from or their former coaches or the scouts involved signing them.
“From what I heard he was pretty decent at Seminole,” Aumont said. “It’s a pretty good accomplishment to go to Oregon. Not many Canadians go there.”
He was tied for third amongst Canadians with Jordan Procyshen (Calgary, Alta.) of the Northern Kentucky Norse with 10 homers, four behind Midland Chaparrals teammates Chris Shaw (Winnipeg, Man.) and Chris Thibideau (Dartmouth, NS.)
Petronzio predicts if Craig-St. Louis has a good season with Oregeon he could be drafted saying “he has a build similar to Brett Lawrie ... without the temper.”
Craig-St. Louis is “very aggressive, with hand-eye, co-ordination, with a very good arm,” who Petronzio projects down the road as a left fielder,

When it comes to long-distance bombs, as Craig-St. Louis can deliver, Petronzio has a couple of memorable.
Like when he was called up to the Attak midgets as a bantam and facing Associes Laval deposited a drive onto the batting cage in right field.
Or when the Attak visited the Ottawa Knights at Lynx Stadium, former home of the triple-A International League franchise he homered to the right centre field gap.
With long distance drive like that Craig-St Louis was soon playing for coach Joel Landry and Les Ailes Du Quebec.
So if Aumont was No. 1. Who else ranks next on Petronzio`s second tier of players?
Catchers Alex St-Jean and Nicholas Lecompte, saying how Aumont used to throw to Lecompte in the winter adding “Phillippe would say he was a better receiver than some of the pro catchers he had.”
Lloyd Simmons, the winningest coach in collegiate history, is in his 27th year coaching at Seminole. He returned in 2011 after coaching six seasons in the Kansas City Royals at the roookie-class affiliate from 2002-07 and scouting with the New York Yankees.
He managed the likes of Mitch Maier, Mike Aviles, Kila Ka’aihue, Aaron Guiel Matt Diaz, Mike Coolbaugh, Jarrod Dyson, Derrick Robinson, Justin Huber and Sal Perez -- all future major leaguers with the Royals. He has the ability to project. He also knows power.
“Phil has tremendous power, he made all region and we’re in a tough league,” said Simmons. “I remember several he hit several over the light poles at our home park. He’s a threat to hit the ball out every at bat.”
Simmons particularly remembers Seminole spring trip to Arizona when his Trojans played a Royals minor league club Surprise, Az. “He went deep to win that game.” Simmons initially compares to Craig-St. Louis to Maier, “who got a cup of coffee and then got hurt.”
“He has Billy Butler type power,” Simmons said, “or Alex Gordon or Mike Moustakas power ... maybe more.”
The problem with Craig-St. Louis is finding him a position. In 2013 he was an outfielder, then switched to second when the Trojans lost a second baseman.
Both Simmons and Petronzio see him as an outfielder down the road.
Craig-St.Louis is far from Simmons’ first Canuck He coached the likes of Canadians RHP Eric Gagne ((Mascouche, Que.), LHP Eric Cyr (Montreal, Que.), LHP Denny Prata (Montreal, Que.), RHP Rob Findlay (Etobicoke, Ont.), OF Jeff Guiel (Langley, BC), RHP Brendon Stafford (Ottawa, Ont.).
Simmons has three Canucks Trojans heading into next spring LHP Christopher Sauvé-Gebhardt (Mascouche, Que.), OF Philippe Berthiaume (Lac St-Charles, Que.) and RHP Tristan Legault (Repentigny Que.)
“I like those French Canadian kids, I like all those Canadian kids,” Simmons said. “Why? Because they’re tough.”

What was more impressive for Quantrill, more so than a 7-5 record and a 2.68 ERA was the phrase “first freshman to start the season opener for Stanford since Mike Mussina.” He walked 34 and struck out 98 holding opponents to a .221 averages.
Quantrill earned Louisville, Perfect Game All-American and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors, as well as earning All-Pac-12. He was named to the Bloomington Regional All-Tournament Team where he had two wins.

In picking up the two wins he pitched 11 1/3 innings allowing two runs — one earned — on eight hits and two walks. He struck out six in his 142 pitches 93 of them for strikes. His 110 2/3 innings were the most logged by any Canuck this spring.
