Official Victoria HarbourCats News Release

VICTORIA, B.C. -- The season may feel far away, just over six months to be exact, but plans are well underway for filling head coach Todd Haney's 2024 Victoria HarbourCats roster.

Included are returning pitchers, and local products via the Victoria Eagles program, Sam Jordan and Ryder Green, along with the next Magdic power-hitting prospect.

-Kyle Magdic, IF, Lincoln, Ont., 6-3/230, Marshalltown CC

-Brooks Brewster, RHP, Carthage, Tex., 6-2/205, Paris JC (Texas)

-Wyatt Anderson, RHP, Cochrane, Alta., 6-3/205, Hill JC (Texas)

-Kade Douglas, RHP, Trinidad, Colo., 6-2/185, CSU Pueblo

-Ryder Green, RHP, Victoria, BC, 6-0/185, Park-Gilbert (AZ)

-Sam Jordan, RHP, Victoria, BC, 6-3/190, Trinidad State (CO)

Magdic is the younger brother of 2023 fan favourite Ryan Magdic, a big corner infielder with huge power potential.

Anderson is a power pitcher who will benefit from working with HarbourCats pitching coach Scott Anderson (no relation) and the staff.

Brewster is yet another Texas recruit by Haney, with a fastball in the low 90s, a college freshman who had great success at the top high school level in a very competitive state.

Douglas, a lanky right-hander with swing-miss stuff, pitched in the Northwoods League and WCBL, advancing from Allen CC to CSU-Pueblo.

Green, who has been around the team for many years including being a batboy many moons ago, is in the midst of his freshman NAIA season in Arizona and returns for a second season working with Anderson.

Jordan returns for a second season, this time after spending a year at Trinidad State in Colorado (previously at Thompson Rivers in Kamloops). He made six appearances including two starts for the HarbourCats in 2023, going 2-0 with a 2.76 ERA and walking only four hitters.
