Andrew Albers to represent Canada at World Baseball Classic
When Team Canada takes to the field for the 2023 World Baseball Classic, there will be a familiar face in the pitching rotation for fans of the sport in the Battlefords and across Saskatchewan.
North Battleford’s Andrew Albers has been named to represent Canada at the event which will be held next month, March 7-21 around the globe in Taichung (Taiwan), Tokyo (Japan), Phoenix, and Miami.
“I’m really excited about it, and really looking forward to putting on the Team Canada jersey one more time,” Albers said of the opportunity ahead.
“This is kind of the one international tournament all the big-leaguers go play in, and I think it’s gained a lot of notoriety over the last few years with more of the big-name, big-league guys, so I’m looking forward to it and it will be fun to go down and compete against the best players in the world.”
