Blue Jays Nation's Top 25 Canadian Baseball Prospects for 2026: #18 Brady Cerkownyk
"Brady Cerkownyk put together a historic freshman season at Connors State College in 2023. Widely regarded as one of the top amateur bats in the country at the time, the Etobicoke native exceeded even the loftiest expectations, delivering one of the most productive seasons in NJCAA history and cementing himself as a premier Canadian prospect. Cerkownyk terrorized opposing pitchers during the 2023 collegiate season, batting .470, second-best in the nation, while leading all NJCAA hitters with 107 RBIs and ranking second with 27 home runs."
"Defensively, Cerkownyk is more than just a bat-first catcher. Behind the plate, he committed just one error in the 2023 season and threw out 75% of attempted base stealers, showcasing advanced receiving skills and a strong, accurate throwing arm. That two-way reliability only strengthened his draft stock as the 2023 MLB draft approached. After working out for multiple MLB organizations and playing 12 games with the MLB Draft League's Fredrick Keys,"
Brady Cerkownyk is an Etobicoke-born catcher who posted one of the most prolific NJCAA offensive seasons in 2023, hitting .470 with 107 RBIs and 27 home runs across 55 games. He led the country in slugging (.985) and OPS (1.530) while finishing second nationally in batting average and homers. Defensive metrics included one error on the season and a 75% caught-stealing rate, demonstrating a strong arm and advanced receiving.
