We’re sure that there have been some years that there were more Canadians at the Perfect Game WWBA World Championship in Jupiter.
Usually it was the Ontario Blue Jays and the Langley Blaze sent their own teams. Some years Doug Mathieson added some prospects when he was scouting for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now, he is with the Milwaukee Brewers. The Ontario Jays usually went with their own team.
Yet, never can I remember as many on as many different teams. This month there are 58 Canadians in Jupiter -- from 18 different club teams on six different rosters.
The Ontario Blue Jays had the most players listed with 11, followed by the Great Lake Canadians and Langley Blaze with eight apiece.
There were five Mississauga Tigers, as well as four Toronto Mets and TXNL players, followed by three each from the North Shore Twins. A pair of players came from the Academy Baseball Canada, FieldHouse Pirates, Okotoks Dawgs, Team Steel, Victoria Eagles and Watson Elite.
Teams with one player included the Abbotsford Cardinals, IMG Academy, Ontario Royals, Ontario Terriers and the Team Ontario Astros.
The Wood Bat World championship has 25 different four-team pools at the Roger Dean Complex.
Former big-leaguers -- Luis Alicia, Kyle Farnsworth, Tom Gordon, Ryan Klesko, Charles Johnson, Tim Redding, and Preston Wilson will be on hand.

Former ABC LHP Elliot Cadieux-Lanoue (Saint-Pie, Que.) is rated 302nd among high schoolers in North America for next July.;
What To Look For: Maple Flavor
Brewers Langley Blaze is bringing 19 players to Jupiter from Canada which should be intriguing to watch. The group is led by Iowa commit Elliot Cadieux-Lanoue, ranked 301 in the 2023 class and the No. 1 left-handed pitcher in Canada. Ty Hamilton, Sam Shaw, and Reece Usselman are three other plays with Canadian roots that are committed to D-I programs. We only have a few times throughout the year to get a look at Canadian players and should be a fun team to follow in Jupiter.

What To Look For: Star Power
Both Canadian Premier and 5 Star Performance 2023 National have high-end talents to keep an eye on. Brendan Lawson (2024, Toronto, Ontario) is draft-eligible in 2023 and should be followed closely on the Canadian Premier team, along with teammate Myles Naylor (2023, Mississauga, Ontario), who continued to establish himself as a legitimate draft prospect throughout the course of the summer circuit.
Great Lake Canadians OF Noah Konings 2023 (Brampton, Ont.) is the top uncommitted player in his pool.
Uncommitted Impact: Noah Konings, Canadian Premier
Konings has been coming on like gangbusters over the course of the last several months, as an uncommitted right-handed hitting outfielder with real tools. He, to be succinct, absolutely rakes and has the peripheral tools to impact the game in a variety of ways. There’s good power in the right-handed stroke and he’s a good athlete with the upside of potentially handling all three outfield spots, and is my pick to be a sneaky huge contributor as an uncommitted player in this pool.
