The Canadian College Baseball Conference kicks off its first spring season since 2019 this weekend. The 2020 season was turfed in the initial aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the logistics for the 2021 season meant they would have to wait for another day. And that day has finally come for those Western Canadian college teams, including Prairie Baseball Academy. At the centre of that program is Todd Hubka, who has seen it all since joining in 1996, first as an assistant coach to Blair Kubicek, before taking the reigns in 2010. He and I actually share the same hometowns, originally being from Carmangay, then going to high school in Claresholm, and randomly crossed paths again while he was coaching the Lethbridge Bulls while I was a young reporter in Medicine Hat. We’ve been able to share a few laughs over text and phone calls over the years, so it was only a matter of time before we had him on the podcast. We talked about his upbringing, including throwing a no-hitter, his coaching philosophies and his expectations of his young PBA club this spring.

Playing Pepper - Todd Hubka Prairie Baseball Academy 

It was great to catch up with another Alberta baseball coach this week as Jordan and Dean were joined by Todd Hubka of the Prairie Baseball Academy in Lethbridge. The fellas chatted about recruitment and development, the importance of the WCBL and his baseball journey. Todd is also a scout for the Minnesota Twins so we discussed the type of player he looks for. Jordan unveiled a few more player signings for the Prospects and he was sporting a new pink hairstyle, all for a great cause. Dean and Jordan also discussed what may or may not happen with Mookie Betts in Boston, inductees to the Canadian Baseball HOF and hitting .400. Enjoy! Subscribe! Review!
