Official Okotoks Dawgs News Release
The Okotoks Dawgs are excited to announce three big additions to the pitching staff for 2025: Gavin Wuschke (Regina, Sask.), Andrew Herbert (Reinhardt University) and Owen Pote (Sherwood Park, Alta.).
Fans will be familiar with Wuschke as 2025 will be his third season with the Dawgs. In 2024, Wuschke saw limited action due to a wrist injury. In seven appearances, including 4 starts, Wuschke went 5-0 record with a 1.42 ERA in 19 innings. Look for Wuschke to have a major impact in 2025 as he is fully healthy.
