Canadian Baseball Network

Our electorate for voting for the 2022 Canadian Baseball Team college Player of the Year and our all-Canadian teams come from near and far.

Our 52-person set of voters was composed of 19 coaches, 12 writers -- 10 of whom write for our website -- 11 scouts, eight executives and a former player.

Our voters came from eight different provinces -- all but Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland -- and nine different states south of the border from New York to North Carolina, as well as from Ohio to Oklahoma.

Our standard rule still stands: if you didn’t send in a ballot you lose your right to complain about the results.
