Official Okotoks Dawgs News Release

The Okotoks Dawgs are pleased to announce our three latest signings for the 2023 season – Ricardo Sanchez (INF, Barton CC), Alejandro Cazorla (OF, Bossier Parish CC) and Aidan Rose (INF, UBC).

In 2022, both Sanchez and Cazorla (Calgary, Alta.) were impact players and WCBL All-stars, while Rose (Calgary, Alta.) provided tremendous value as a role player in the middle infield coming off the bench. Look for this trio of Dawgs Academy alumni to play a major role during the 2023 season as the Dawgs look to become back-to-back WCBL champions for the first time since 2008-2009.

Ricardo Sanchez – Barton Community College

An absolute force in 2022, Sanchez was named an All-star and the WCBL MVP. During the regular season, Sanchez posted a .342 batting average while tallying 64 hits including 15 doubles, four triples and two home runs with 39 RBIs in 52 games.

Alejandro Cazorla- Bossier Parish Community College

Cazorla was a WCBL All-star during the 2022 season and deservedly so. In 50 games, Cazorla hit .341 with 59 hits including 14 doubles, nine triples and five home runs with 34 RBIs while swiping 15 bags during the regular season.

Aidan Rose- University of British Columbia

Coming off of his freshman year at UBC, Rose added value to the Dawgs as a role player coming off the bench. In limited playing time, Rose collected 22 hits with two doubles and seven RBIs.
