ROAD TO THE SHOW

The Canadians are a part of the Toronto Blue Jays organization. The C’s are a High A affiliate of the Blue Jays.

That means they are in the middle of the Toronto farm system, slightly higher than the Dunedin Blue Jays (Low A) and the Gulf Coast Blue Jays (Rookie). Baseball players work their way up through the organization in hopes of getting to the big leagues. Toronto is in the American League and pulls its talent from these teams.

XIS HERNANDEZ, NOLAN PERRY SWEEP NWL WEEKLY AWARDS HERNANDEZ TAKES HOME PLAYER OF THE WEEK, PERRY NAMED PITCHER OF THE WEEK

Minor League Baseball has named Canadians outfielder Alexis Hernandez as the Northwest League Player of the Week and starter Nolan Perry as the Northwest League Pitcher of the Week for May 18-24. Hernandez went 12-for-25 in six games and slashed .480/.517/1.040 with a 1.557 OPS, five doubles, three homers, six runs scored, 10 RBI and three walks while Perry dazzled over five scoreless frames with one hit, one walk and 10 strikeouts in his lone start of the series. The C’s lead the Northwest League with five weekly award winners and six total leage distinctions in 2026.

Hernandez, 23, began his Ruthian week on Tuesday with a two-hit showing then turned in his first two-homer game of the year the following night. The Tinaco, VZ native added three more hits on Thursday before hitting the fourth C’s grand slam of the year – all of them coming at Avista Stadium – on Friday as part a season-high five RBI performance. He wrapped up the series with four hits over the weekend and drove in three runs. Hernandez raised his season average 42 points and increased his year-long OPS from .737 to .886. It’s the first weekly honour of his career.

Perry, 22, has made a habit of dominating Northwest League opponents since his promotion from Single-A Dunedin but was especially electric on May 20. That night, the Carlsbad, NM product earned the win with his five scoreless frames of one-hit ball and reached double digit Ks for the second consecutive outing. He retired the first nine batters he faced, surrendered his lone hit to begin the fourth then issued a lead-off walk in the fifth before mowing down the next three Indians to wrap up his outing. This is the second time he has won a weekly award; he was named the Florida State League Pitcher of the Week in mid-April.

BY CHRIS GEORGES

CHRIS GEORGES CATCHES UP WITH BLUE JAYS PROSPECT NOLAN PERRY TO DISCUSS HIS DOMINANT START IN VANCOUVER, LIFE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, RECOVERING FROM TOMMY JOHN SURGERY AND MORE. Nolan Perry’s first few weeks with the Vancouver Canadians have offered an early glimpse of why the Toronto Blue Jays organization remains high on the hard-throwing right-hander. Through his first three starts with the Canadians, Perry posted a sparkling 0.60 ERA while attacking hitters with a lively fastball and a devastating breaking-ball mix that has quickly made him one of the club’s most intriguing young arms. His most recent start on May 20 in Spokane was one of the best starts of his professional career to date: five innings, one hit, one walk and 10 strikeouts to earn Northwest League Pitcher of the Week honours.

A native of Carlsbad, New Mexico, Perry was selected by the Blue Jays in the 12th round of the 2022 MLB Draft out of Carlsbad High School, where he had originally committed to Texas Tech University. Choosing professional baseball over college proved to be the right call for Perry, who steadily climbed through the Blue Jays’ system before suffering a UCL tear during the 2024 season that ultimately required Tommy John surgery. The rehab process was difficult mentally and physically, but Perry says the recovery has left him stronger than ever, with increased velocity on both his fastball and slider. Now ranked among Toronto’s top prospects, Perry is beginning to show the type of upside that could eventually carry him through the upper levels of the minor leagues.

In a conversation with Chris Georges, Perry spoke about pitching in Vancouver, adjusting to life in Canada, refining his splitter and what motivates him during the grind of a long minor league season. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.

PERRY PO A SIT DOWN WITH N Chris Georges: I’m here with right-handed pitcher Nolan Perry.

Nolan, thanks for taking the time.

Nolan Perry: Yes sir, thanks for having me.

CG: Three starts into your time with Vancouver and you’ve posted a 0.60 ERA. What’s been working for you on the mound so far?

NP: Really just getting ahead with the fastball and staying in the zone. Once I establish that, everything else kind of plays off of it. The catchers have done a great job calling games too, so we’ve been on the same page pretty much the whole time.

CG: You’re coming off a dominant outing — five innings, one hit, 22 / VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026

one walk and 10 strikeouts. What was it like pitching in front of the Vancouver crowd that night?

NP: It was awesome. I didn’t feel quite as sharp physically as I normally do, but I just kept attacking the zone and competing. I got a little wild in the fifth inning, but after a mound visit I settled back in and finished it off.

CG: At one point you struck out six straight hitters. Have you ever done that before?

NP: Earlier this year in Low-A I actually had seven strikeouts in a row, so that was probably the most.

OWER: NOLAN PERRY VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026 / 23

24 / VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026

CG: What was your first impression of Nat Bailey Stadium and the fans?

NP: It was electric. The fans are into every pitch and every big moment. That energy definitely gives me a little extra adrenaline out there.

CG: How have you adjusted to Vancouver itself?

NP: It’s definitely different from New Mexico, but it’s been awesome. The views are incredible and I’ve been trying to explore the city and check out some restaurants whenever I can.

CG: Coming from New Mexico, where there aren’t a ton of professional baseball players, does that motivate you?

NP: Definitely. There aren’t many guys from New Mexico who make it to pro ball, so I take pride in that. Hopefully younger kids back home can see that it’s possible.

CG: You were drafted in the 12th round out of high school and had a commitment to Texas Tech. How difficult was the decision to sign professionally?

NP: Honestly, it wasn’t too difficult. My goal was always to play pro baseball. I felt like the resources, facilities and coaching in pro ball would help me develop faster, and it’s definitely worked out that way.

CG: You also had to overcome Tommy John surgery after the 2024 season. What was that process like mentally?

NP: At first it was tough because you can’t really do baseball activities. But after a couple of months, once I got back into throwing and training, I started feeling like myself again. Looking back now, I think the surgery actually helped me. My arm feels way better and my stuff has improved.

CG: MLB Pipeline has you ranked among the Blue Jays’ top prospects, and people have noticed the uptick in velocity. Is that part of what you’re referring to?

NP: Yeah, my fastball velocity has definitely gone up a little bit. My curveball has more depth now too, and my slider has gotten harder as well.

CG: You’ve also been working on a splitter this year.

NP: I’ve thrown it since high school, but I’m still trying to get a consistent feel for it. We’ve been working on it in the bullpen and slowly mixing it into games.

CG: If you could steal one pitch from a teammate and add it to your arsenal, whose would it be?

NP: Probably Schuyler’s slider. It’s really hard with a ton of movement. It’s nasty.

CG: The minor league season is a grind with 132 games. What do you do to relax on off days?

NP: If I’m not pitching early in the week, I’ll usually try to explore the city or go out for dinner. If I’m starting sooner, I’ll just stay in, grab some food and play video games like Rocket League or MLB The Show.

CG: Last one for you — do you set specific statistical goals for yourself each season?

NP: Not really. For me it’s more about staying healthy and building innings. If I’m throwing a lot of innings, that usually means things are going well and everything else will take care of itself.

JOSE

MAYORGA

17

MANAGER After leading the C’s to a 75-win season in 2025 – the second-most regular season wins for the club this millennium – and a franchise-record 11-game winning streak, Jose Mayorga is back on the top step in the home dugout. Mayorga has been managing in the Blue Jays system since 2022. He spent two seasons at the helm for the FCL Blue Jays then managed Single-A Dunedin to a 69-61 record in 2024, the club’s best mark since 2019. The Pueblo Nuevo, Panama native was also the bench coach for the C’s in 2018. Mayorga brings a championship pedigree to Vancouver, leading the Federales de Chiriqui to back-to-back Panamanian Professional Baseball League titles in 202223 and 2023-24. The latter squad went 5-1 in the 2024 Caribbean Series and placed third in the tournament. Mayorga returned to Los Federales this offseason and will be the head man for Panama at this year’s World Baseball Classic. As a player, Mayorga was a catcher in the Philadelphia Phillies system from 2010 to 2015.

MATT

VON ROEMER

15

BENCH COACH von Roemer is back as Mayorga’s right-hand man, continuing his impressive rise as a professional coach since joining the Blue Jays as an intern in 2019. Among many team highlights in 2025, he celebrated his first win as a pro manager when he filled in during Mayorga’s paternity leave. He has rapidly ascended the organizational ranks, first as Technology Operations Coordinator then as Double-A New Hampshire’s development coach in 2023 before making his bench coach debut on Mayorga’s staff with Single-A Dunedin last year. The Kendall Park, NJ native played collegiately at Kenyon College from 2015 to 2018, slashing .366/.416/.503 with a .919 OPS in 147 games played across four seasons with the Lords (now known as the Owls).

ERIC

YARDLEY

29

PITCHING COACH Eric Yardley returns to the same role he thrived in last year, shepherding the likes of ranked Blue Jays prospects Trey Yesavage, Gage Stanifer and Fernando Perez as part of one of the Northwest League’s best pitching staffs. A native of Richland, WA, the former right-handed reliever posted a career ERA of 3.52 in 53.2 innings of work across 51 MLB games. Yardley also logged Triple-A innings with the Cubs and Blue Jays in 2022.

He joined the coaching ranks last season and served as Double-A New Hampshire’s bullpen coach.

JONATHAN

DAVIS

11

HITTING COACH Jonathan Davis, Hitting Coach – Former big leaguer Jonathan Davis will work with the hitters this season after joining the C’s staff in the same role in the second half last year. Originally drafted by Toronto in the 15th round of the 2013 draft out of Central Arkansas, Davis stopped in Vancouver in 2014 then continued up the ladder until he made his MLB debut on September 5, 2018. He appeared in 102 games across four seasons with the Blue Jays then was picked up by the Yankees, where he wrapped up the 2021 campaign. He signed with Milwaukee in 2022 then spent his final big league season with Miami in 2023. After retiring as a player, he joined Single-A Dunedin’s coaching staff in 2024.

TOMMY

CAULFIELD

13

ASSISTANT PITCHING COACH Bautista will handle the Vancouver relief corps in 2025 after two seasons as the pitching coach for the DSL Blue Jays. Originally from El Seibo, DR, Bautista graduated from Point Park University in Pittsburgh, PA in 2019 and joined the Blue Jays as Player Development Intern later that year.

PETR

STŘÍBRCKÝ

14

POSITION COACH Petr Stříbrcký, Position Coach – Petr Stříbrcký returns to the C’s for his second High-A season after serving in the same role last year. The Blansko, Czech Republic native has played and coached all over the world, including an eight-year stint as the director of the Portuguese Baseball Academy.

Stříbrcký joined Toronto’s organization as the hitting coach of the DSL Blue Jays in 2019 and returned to that role in 2021 before arriving stateside as the development coach of the FCL Blue Jays in 2022. He was promoted to Single-A Dunedin in 2023 and spent two seasons with the D-Jays.

A LEGEND REMEMBERS:

JIM ROBSON’S FINAL INTERVIEW Last autumn, legendary sportscaster Jim Robson sat down with the Vancouver Canadians as part of the club’s 75th anniversary celebration series, reflecting on decades of baseball memories in Vancouver. It would prove to be one of the final extended interviews of his remarkable career. Robson passed away on February 9, 2026 at the age of 91, leaving behind a broadcasting legacy woven into the fabric of sports in British Columbia.

Born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, on January 17, 1935, James Alexander Robson found his way to a microphone at just 17 years old, joining CJAV radio in Port Alberni to cover senior men’s basketball. By 1956, he had made his way to Vancouver and CKWX, where he called games for the BC Lions, the Vancouver Mounties of the Pacific Coast Baseball League — predecessors to the modern-day Canadians — and the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks. When Vancouver was granted an NHL expansion franchise in 1970, Robson moved to CKNW and never looked back. For nearly three decades, his voice was the soundtrack of Canucks hockey: two Stanley Cup Final runs in 1982 and 1994, four Finals on Hockey Night in Canada, five NHL All-Star Games, and more than 2,000 NHL games called without ever missing a broadcast due to illness. The Hockey Hall of Fame honoured him with the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award in 1992. He was inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame in 1998, the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2000, and the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2002. He was appointed to the Order of British Columbia in 2011. The broadcast gondola at Rogers Arena bears his name.

Long before he became synonymous with the Vancouver Canucks and Hockey Night in Canada, Robson was immersed in baseball. From the old ballparks of Vancouver to the Pacific Coast League’s golden era, he witnessed firsthand the evolution of professional baseball in the city. Across more than seven decades behind the microphone, Robson developed a gift for storytelling rooted not only in statistics and scores, but in people, atmosphere and memory.

In this latest excerpt from his final interview, Robson reflects on the rise of Pacific Coast League baseball in Vancouver during the 1950s

and early 1960s, the memorable players who passed through Capilano Stadium and the remarkable crowds that once packed the ballpark.

Along the way, he shares stories of Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson, future Yankees executive Cedric Tallis and the colourful characters who helped shape one of the city’s great sporting eras.

Part Three: Pacific Coast League Glory Days Vancouver’s baseball history stretches back long before the arrival of the modern-day Canadians. As Jim Robson recalled, the city had already developed a deep connection to the sport through a series of ballparks located in what is now downtown Vancouver.

“There was baseball there in the 1930s,” Robson said of Athletic Park at Fifth and Hemlock. “Babe Ruth even played an exhibition game there on a rainy day.”

When the Pacific Coast League arrived in Vancouver in 1956, the city embraced the new era despite concerns over the cost of upgrading Capilano Stadium. The Mounties struggled in their inaugural season under manager Lefty O’Doul, finishing near the bottom of the standings, but things changed quickly the following year.

“Cedric Tallis became the general manager in 1957,” Robson remembered. “He later became general manager of the New York Yankees. They also brought in Charlie Metro, a hard-nosed manager, and suddenly Vancouver had some very good teams.”

The late-1950s Mounties became known for blending veteran Pacific Coast League players with future major league stars. One of the most VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026 / 37

memorable teams came in 1959, featuring four young infielders who would each reach the big leagues: Buddy Barker, Marv Breeding, Ron Hansen and a young third baseman named Brooks Robinson.

“Brooks Robinson almost had his career end in Vancouver,” Robson said.

Robson recalled Robinson chasing a foul ball near the dugout when his arm became caught on a metal hook attached to a protective screen, severely damaging the tendons in his arm. A doctor sitting nearby rushed Robinson to Royal Columbian Hospital, where emergency treatment likely saved the future Hall of Famer’s career.

“He missed about a month, came back, hit around .340 and then got called back up to Baltimore,” Robson said. “Of course, he became one of the greatest third basemen of all time.”

Although Vancouver never captured a Pacific Coast League pennant during that stretch, Robson believed the teams of the late 1950s and early 1960s were among the strongest in franchise history. The 1961 club featured future stars like Ed Charles, Dennis Menke and Frank Torre, along with respected veterans and highly regarded prospects.

“That was a very good ball club,” Robson said.

“Billy Hitchcock was the manager, and they had players who either came down from the majors or were on their way up.”

Attendance at Capilano Stadium reflected the excitement surrounding the team. During a crucial 1957 series against the San Francisco Seals, crowds overflowed beyond the outfield fences.

“They put ropes around the outfield so fans could stand outside the fence,” Robson recalled. “If you hit the ball into the crowd, it was an automatic ground-rule double.”

Eventually, changing entertainment habits and the growing influence of televised Major League Baseball contributed to declining attendance. Vancouver’s Pacific Coast League franchise folded after the 1962 season, leaving the city without professional baseball for two years.

But the game would return again in 1965 through a working agreement with the Kansas City Athletics. The revived club featured future stars including Sal Bando and Joe Rudi under manager Mickey Vernon.

“The baseball interest had been revived by the calibre of the baseball,” Robson said. “They had some really good young ballplayers.”

VANCOUVER CANADIANS 2026 / 43

HOW TO SCORE A BASEBALL GAME Different fans have different methods of keeping a scorecard, and many use their own notations. But here's a simple method:

circle put the symbol of the play and/or the player that drove him in.

For example, if the No. 5 hitter drives in two runs with a single, mark his single in the bottom right of his box and mark a circle with the number "5" in the boxes of the runners who score (Some people like to use uniform numbers here, so you can tell who did what, even after lineup changes).

For example, If the hitter grounds out to shortstop, for example, write in "6-3," which shows the shortstop threw him out at first base. If the hitter flies out to left field, write a "7."

If the batter gets a hit, write in the hit according to which base he reached. Each corner of the box represents a base, with the lowerright corner being first.

At the end of each inning, total the hits and runs for that inning only.

At the end of the game you'll be able to add the innings total to get the game score.

If he singles, put a "-" in the lower right. If he doubles, write a "=" in the upper right, and so on. For a walk, use "BB" in the lower right. As the runner advances, mark the appropriate symbol in the appropriate corner.

If a runner scores, put a circle at the bottom of the box, and inside the
