Red Deer Minor Baseball Has Two Baseball Alberta Award Recipients

Red Deer Minor Baseball was very pleased to be represented recently by two Baseball Alberta Award recipients in 11U Player of the Year Wyatt Schmidt and Umpire of the Year Clayton Wandler.

11U Player of the Year Wyatt Schmitt.

Red Deer Minor Baseball Association is proud to have Baseball Alberta’s 11U AA Player of the Year as one of our own! Wyatt Schmitt, a third year RDMBA player, is described by his coaches as a talented young player and a pleasure to coach. Wyatt’s favorite part of baseball is being part of the team. He is an admirable young player that works hard and plays with his whole heart, always quick to offer words of encouragement to his teammates. When Wyatt isn’t taking part in team commitments, he can be found playing backyard farm baseball with brothers Luke and Jasper. Wyatt’s 2021 season was played on our Tier I Silver Medal winning 11U AA Dick’s Auto Braves. Red Deer Minor Baseball Association congratulates Wyatt Schmitt and looks forward to his development in 2022 and for many years to come!

Clayton has been awarded assignments including 15U AA Westerns, 15U AAA Provincials as well as his first time as plate ump in the Sunburst League this past season. Having been mentored by some great umpires in the game, Clayton has chosen to mentor our upcoming, first and second year umpires in return, giving back to our great game. Red Deer Minor Baseball Association congratulates Clayton Wandler and looks forward to seeing him on the diamond in 2022.
