For the health and safety of Blue Jays fans, staff, and players, the club is in full support of Major League Baseball’s decision to postpone the start of the 2020 regular season in accordance with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to restrict events of more than 50 people for the next eight weeks.

In alignment with this, we have decided to pause on releasing T12 Tryout Information for the time being. When we are able to proceed with T12 Tryouts, we will ensure that every geographic region has the opportunity to participate. We appreciate your patience and look forward to getting back to baseball soon.

Tournament 12 (T12) presented by New Era is a national amateur baseball tournament held at Rogers Centre each September hosted by the Blue Jays Baseball Academy and Tournament Commissioner, Roberto Alomar.

The goal of T12 is to provide a showcase opportunity for the best 150 amateur baseball players born in Canada, with college eligibility. T12 acts to centralize the best Canadian baseball players, with the intention of exposing them to as many pro and college scouts as possible. Simply put, the Blue Jays Baseball Academy's intention is to provide a platform that both highlights and markets the high level of amateur baseball talent in this country. Since 2013, 69 former T12 players have been drafted by Major League Baseball organizations with over 300 receiving college scholarships to continue their academic and athletic careers.
