Cardinals sign infielder Jake Watson

The Hamilton Cardinals are pleased to announce the signing of Jake Watson, an infielder from Oakville, Ontario.

Watson, who has an impressive eight-year tenure with the Fieldhouse Pirates, will occupy one of the Junior spots on the Intercounty Baseball League (IBL) roster for the upcoming season. Currently, Watson is furthering his baseball career and academic pursuits at NCAA Division I Siena State in Loudonville, New York. 

“Our long-term goal is to find a homegrown shortstop,” said George Halim, Hamilton Cardinals General Manager. “Jake fits the profile, he’s pressure-free, and now we can pay close attention to his development over the next few years.”

The Cardinals first home game is on Friday May 17th at 7:30pm against the Guelph Royals. Tickets are now available at CardinalsTickets.ca and the game will be available live on Cable14Now.com.
