Brettell gained useful knowledge, experience with Canada junior national team

Freshman pitcher Michael Brettell returns to the dugout while his teammates congratulates him during the game against Kent State at Theunissen Stadium, Saturday, March 26, 2016.

Since baseball isn't necessarily the most popular sport in Canada, sophomore right-handed pitcher Michael Brettell found another way to explore his talents with the Canadian junior national team.

To recruit players, the Canada junior national team travels around the country to watch showcase games and talented teams to select the best players they think can represent the country.

"It is an opportunity they gave me to show off my stuff," Brettell said.
