On a beautiful September day in Toronto, the third annual Tournament 12 (T12) began with amateur players from across Canada showcasing their abilities in front of an attentive audience. Day 1 of T12 served as Scout Day, which gives high school players with college eligibility an opportunity to prove their skills in front of college and professional scouts.
T12 commissioner Roberto Alomar, the Hall of Fame second baseman, praised how the tournament has gotten "more kids interested in the game of baseball."
Alomar noted how the tournament has expanded since the inaugural tournament in 2013 as roster sizes have increased.
