Believe it or not, the majority of the 2019 season here in Ontario and Canada, and it has generated some memorable moments and performances early on in 2019. Prep Baseball Report is excited to announce one player who emerged ahead of the competition at all levels in the country thus far in 2019 of Canada. This player has been selected not only for their outstanding statistical numbers, but also for their overall effect on their local team, as well as the Canadian Junior National Team, where the majority of their games have been played so far this year.

Without further ado, your 2019 Canadian Player of the Year……..

Dasan Brown


In 4 trips with the Junior National Team, dating back to their fall trip in October, Brown had impressive stats, especially when you factor in this all came against professional’s as the JNT faces off against pro competition on their trips.

In 38 games, Brown collected 33 hits with a .275 average and .378 OBP. He scored 26 runs while driving in 17 RBI’s, to go along with 6 triples and 18 stolen bases, showing off his elite speed on the base paths. He also had 1 home run, which came against the Toronto Blue Jays in March, arguably the biggest game of their trip to Florida during the March break.

The Blue Jays were obviously impressed with what they saw, as they selected Brown in the 3rd. Round of the 2019 MLB draft, 88th overall.

Brown has been selected by the Canadian staff of Prep Baseball Report. The team of PBR area scouts who covered the baseball season throughout the spring selected Brown amongst a strong group of candidates from across the Country. The Prep Baseball Report staff has been diligently scouting and covering baseball games at baseball diamonds this spring to bring parents, athletes and fans the most comprehensive coverage of amateur baseball across our 3 active provinces. The dedication and coverage allow Prep Baseball Report a credible way to identify the top athletes each year who best represent the country of Canada.
