In this episode, we sit down with Vancouver Canadians outfielder Eddie Micheletti, a 2024 Blue Jays draft pick making waves in the 2025 season. Eddie opens up about finding his rhythm after a rocky start, the mental grind of pro ball, and what it means to have fans chanting your name in the bottom of the ninth.

From eight-game losing streaks to 11-game winning stretches, Eddie talks highs, lows, and everything in between. He shares how advanced scouting has sharpened his plate approach, what separates college from pro ball, and the science behind his strike-zone discipline, rated by Baseball America as the best in the Blue Jays' minor-league system.

But it's not all walk-offs and stat lines—Eddie gets real about long bus rides, hotel living, mental resets after tough games, and the power of good teammates (and video games) to keep you grounded.

And yes—we relive the grand slam that dented the "Return It" sign.

In this episode, Vancouver Canadians public address announcer Niall O'Donohoe chats with K.P. Wee about what makes Rogers Field at Nat Bailey Stadium so special for fans who make it out to the ballpark. Niall also discusses some highlights for the C's in the first half of the 2025 season, which saw Vancouver just barely miss out on the pennant.

At the time of the conversation (June 29, 2025), the C's were set to take on the Tri-City Dust Devils (High-A affiliate of the L.A. Angels) in the finale of their six-game series, with three more games to go in the homestand.

What do multilingualism, mental resilience, and an eight-game losing streak have in common? They're all part of the journey of Nic Deschamps, catcher for the Vancouver Canadians.

In this episode, Nic chats with host K.P. Wee and shares how growing up in Quebec City shaped his baseball path—from juggling hockey and baseball as a kid to stepping into the catcher's gear for good at 14. He dives into what sparked the team's dramatic mid-season turnaround, how trust defines the bond with pitchers, and why communication transcends language barriers when you speak English, French, and Spanish.

Nic also opens up about:

• The challenge of training through snowy Quebec winters—and how a local dome changed everything

• Battling through early-season setbacks to improve his offensive game

• Staying mentally sharp on grueling road trips and letting go of tough days

• Why superstition isn't his thing, even if jersey streaks might suggest otherwise

• Which NHL jersey he owns (no, it's not the Habs')

• And yes... why poutine is elite ballpark food (especially when you're homesick)

Vancouver Canadians infielder Sean Keys, a newcomer to the club in the 2025 season, stops by to chat with K.P. Wee on this episode.

A corner infielder selected by Toronto in the fourth round of the 2024 draft out of Bucknell University, Keys is ranked by MLB.com as the Blue Jays' No. 20 prospect, while Baseball America places him at No. 24 and highlights him as having the best infield arm in Toronto's farm system.

In the month of May 2025, Keys batted .223 with four home runs and 18 RBIs in 94 at-bats with the Canadians. He also stole four bases without being caught.

Keys also celebrated his 22nd birthday in May right after graduating with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Among his academic projects was designing a robot capable of tracking and following a taped line on the floor.

Vancouver Canadians infielder Nick Goodwin stops by to chat with K.P. Wee on this episode.

Selected by the Blue Jays in the 7th round of the 2023 MLB draft, the right-handed hitting infielder is in his third stint with the Canadians, and is coming off being named Northwest League Player of the Week for the period ending June 8th. He had five homers and 12 RBIs while batting .429 in five games for the week, and including a homer the previous week, six home runs in six games played in the month of June.

He is the fourth Vancouver player to earn a Northwest League award this season, joining Arjun Nimmala, Victor Arias, and Adrian Pinto.

At the time of the conversation, Goodwin was hitting .252 overall with nine home runs and 30 RBIs in 40 games on the season.

Vancouver Canadians outfielder Je'Von Ward chats with host K.P. Wee before a home game in late May 2025.

Drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 12th round of the 2017 MLB draft, the native of Cerritos, CA, spent seven seasons with the organization, reaching High-A ball in 2021 and 2023.

Ward began 2024 playing for Kane County (Illinois) in independent baseball before being signed by the Toronto Blue Jays organization. That season, he played 63 games in Vancouver, hitting .279 with seven home runs. He was assigned back to Vancouver at the start of 2025.

At the time of the conversation, Ward was hitting .198 in 35 games with Vancouver but getting on base at a career-best .417 clip, thanks to his 37 walks in 139 plate appearances.

Vancouver Canadians relief pitcher Bo Bonds chats with K.P. Wee in this episode. At the time of the conversation, Bonds, in his second season with the Canadians, had three saves and a 3.80 ERA in 21.1 innings, with 19 strikeouts. The native of Gainesville, FL, was drafted in the 13th round by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2022.

Vancouver Canadians pitcher Pat Gallagher stops by to chat about his transition from being a starting pitcher last season to becoming a reliever this season in 2025, as well as his goals for this year. In 2024, Pat won eight games to lead the C's staff, just one behind the Northwest League leaders. He also led the C's with 21 starts and 91 innings. So far this season as a reliever, he is 1-0 with a 0.95 ERA across 10 appearances.

Chris Georges, the Vancouver Canadians' Broadcast and Media Relations Assistant, stops by and chats briefly about some of the key players from the first month of the 2025 season, as well as going on the road and having fun in the booth.
