CANADIAN MLB DRAFT FACTS:

  • Canada has been a “draft region” since 1991. Prior to that, Canadians playing in Canada were Free Agents, while Canadians playing at US Colleges or Universities were eligible for the draft.
  • The first player drafted out of Canada was Jason Wuersch from Leamington, Ontario as the New York Yankees used their 11th round selection (282nd overall) to take the outfielder in 1991.
  • A record 48 Canadians were selected in the 2002 MLB First-Year Player Draft, marking the highest total since Canadians became eligible for the draft in 1991.
  • The 2002 draft produced the highest ever selection for a Canadian born player as the Baltimore Orioles selected Surrey, BC native Adam Loewen with the fourth overall selection. The 2002 draft also produced the highest number of Canadians who went on to play in the big leagues including Jeff Francis (Rockies), Joey Votto (Reds), Jesse Crain (Twins), Chris Leroux (Devil Rays), David Davidson (Pirates), Luke Carlin (Tigers), Scott Mathieson (Phillies), Russell Martin (Dodgers), George Kottaras (Padres) and Chris Robinson (Mets).
  • Ten years ago, in 2007, there were 33 Canadians selected including Gatineau, Québec native Phillippe Aumont who went 11th overall to the Seattle Mariners, which stands as the fourth highest for a Canadian-born player. RHPs Kyle Lotzkar (Delta, BC) and Trystan Magnuson (Vancouver, BC) were both supplemental first round selections at 53rd (Reds) and 56th (Blue Jays) overall, respectively. Aumont and Magnuson are the only two Canadians from the 2007 draft to have appeared in the big leagues.
  • In 2016, 25 Canadians were selected in the MLB draft including RHP Cal Quantrill (Port Hope, ON) who went 8th overall to the San Diego Padres and catcher Andrew Yerzy (Toronto, ON) who went 52nd overall to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Both Quantrill and Yerzy are graduates of the Junior National Team program.
  • Since 1999, players that have played with the Junior National Team program have accounted for 327 draft selections.
