Paul Spoljaric Paul is that rare Canadian boy, born in Kelowna, B.C., who gets to pitch for the “home team” Toronto Blue Jays, if a team 2,000 miles away can be the home team. He played for the Jays in 1994, 1996-97 and 1999. Paul was traded to the Seattle Mariners mid-season in 1997 with Mike Timlin for Jose Cruz. From Seattle, he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies for Mark Leiter after the 1998 seasons. The Phillies in turn traded him back to his initial starting point, the Blue Jays, for Robert Person in May of 1999. After the 1999 season, Paul was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals with Pat Hentgen for three players but the Cardinals released Paul after spring training 2000. He then signed and played for the Kansas City Royals for the 2000 season, his last in the majors before retiring. Paul played for Canada In the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens where the team finished just out of the medals in 4th place. In his 6-year major-league career, Spoljaric compiled a career 8-17 record with 278 stikeouts, 12 saves, and a 5.52 ERA in 278 innings. Paul has spent many seasons pitching in the Intercounty Baseball League in Ontario. With the Toronto Maple Leafs of that league, Paul’s record was an astounding 52-3 over 5 seasons. He then signed on with the Barrie Baycats and went 16-3 over two seasons proving that even in his late 30’s, he could still throw the ball. Sports Celebrity Marketing S.C.M.

Weekly Notes 072817
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

Precision Over Power: How an Aurora Native Made It to UBC
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Tue Sep 28 19:44:56 2021 / +0000 GMT Precision over Power: How an Aurora native made it to UBC The art of pitching can be defined in two crude forms. Power pitchers are those indefatigable throwers, whipping the ball 100mph. The others, a more relatively precise form, are those who pick their corners and speeds effortlessly, confusing batters at the plate. This is one of baseball's most intriguing matchups. A pitcher's duel will drive fans to the stadiums. Each pitcher calculates every move. With a kick of the leg and a towering arc of the arm, you simply never know what you're going to get. But, these pitchers know what they are going to give. What defines these throwers is simply what they value more. Some pitchers value both power and precision equally. Some place one value over the other. So, which will it be? Precision over power? Some of the best pitchers in the game, like Clayton Kershaw, with his trademark curveball, might say it's precision. In this case, that is the answer. Aurora native Adam Khan has lived by this motto. To his memory, he didn't step onto the mound as a precision pitcher. But now, as an 18-year-old who only has to make his commitment official with the University of British Columbia, he is living by these words: precision over power. ?I like to use the mental side of the game more. I'm a statistics guy. I look at hitters and I try to study them.
