Canadians are all over the Perfect Game’s top 300 Junior College list.

In all, nine Canucks are in the top 299 JUCO players south of the border, led by OF Noah Myers (Wyoming Ont.) of the Wabash Valley Warriors, Perfect Game’s pre-season choice as the No. 1 pick.

The Great Lake Canadians grad hit .318 last spring at Wabash with 13 doubles, five home runs and 49 RBIs. He had a .956 OPS in 57 games. His steady performances earned him a scholarship to the University of South Carolina Gamecocks next fall.

Also in the top 300 are two Ontario Blue Jays grads in 1B Malik Williams (Toronto, Ont.) of the Johnson County Cavailers and RHP Jacob Kush (Guelph, Ont.) of Northwest Florida State Raiders plus former Toronto Met OF Matt Turino (Scarborough Ont.) of the Jefferson Vikings (MO),

Former Academy Baseball Canada RHP Conor Angel (Lachine Que.) of the Northwest Florida State; OF Marc Lebreux (Sainte-Anne Que.) with the Seminole State Trojans; RHP Xavier Leduc (Montreal Que.) with the Crowder Roughriders and OF Remi Patry (Gatineau, Que.) of the State College of Florida Manatees.
