Wynton Bernard has been on a baseball journey. The 31-year-old outfielder was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 35th round of the 2012 draft (1065th overall) out of Niagara College. He was released by the Short-A Eugene Emeralds on March 3, 2014 and signed by the Detroit Tigers 23 days later. He made it all the way up to the Double-A Erie SeaWolves before electing free agency after the 2016 season.
Bernard would then bounce between the San Francisco Giants’ and Chicago Cubs’ systems, while also playing a few seasons of winter ball in Mexico for the Auilas del Zuli, Tigres del Licey, and Leones del Caracas.
