Official London Majors News Release

The London Majors have signed local outfielder Will Pollard.

Pollard joins the Majors after playing for the Western Mustangs during the fall season where he was a teammate of Majors outfielder Austin Wilkie. With the Mustangs in the fall, Pollard hit .286 and had 10 RBIs and 12 runs in 13 games.

Pollard is also St. Thomas Tomcats junior team alum. He batted.400 and registered nine RBIs in seven games with them in 2022.

Pollard has also played with the London Badgers where he was a teammate of Majors AP players, Jaryd Lund and Connor Ambrogio.

“As a kid, I remember having a blast going to Majors games,” said Pollard. “Whether that be running around the bases, chasing after foul balls, getting autographs, you name it. I specifically remember this one moment when Cleveland Brownlee hit a grand slam on Mother’s Day to help give the Majors the win. The atmosphere in the park was absolutely incredible."

Roop Chanderdat, Majors’ field manager and co-owner, is happy to have Pollard on board.

“Will is another good local player that we have added to our roster,” said Chanderdat. “Will is a line-drive hitter with some pop and is a good defensive outfielder”
