CUNNINGHAM NAMED NWL PLAYER OF THE MONTH
MONSTER APRIL SEES “CC” LEAD THE LEAGUE IN NEARLY EVERY OFFENSIVE CATEGORY
Minor League Baseball has named Canadians utilityman Carter Cunningham as the Northwest League Player of the Month for April after he slashed .299/.431/.609 with a 1.040 OPS, five doubles, two triples, six home runs, 20 runs scored, 23 RBI, 15 walks and two steals in 23 games played. He was the only C’s player to appear in every game to begin the season.
Cunningham, 25, was hitless in three of the first five game of the year but broke out with a four-hit, four-RBI game on April 9 that started a stretch in which he had a hit in 14 of the final 18 games and reached base in 16. He was named Player of the Week for April 6-12 after he racked up 10 hits – including three homers – with four runs scored, 10 RBI and six walks in six games played. One of his home runs was a grand slam on April 15 and another a game-tying two-run blast with two outs in the top of the ninth the next night.
The Haymarket, VA native’s offensive output had him listed on the Northwest League leaderboard in every category save for steals, and he led the circuit in home runs, RBI, slugging percentage, OPS, extra base hits and total bases when the month ended.

GEORGES CATCHES UP WITH #4 BLUE
JAYS
PROSPECT JOHNNY KING TO TALK ABOUT ADJUSTING TO LIFE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, HOW LONG HE’S BEEN THROWING HIS CURVEBALL, WHAT HIS GOALS FOR THE YEAR ARE AND MORE.
KING ME A SIT DOWN WITH JOHNNY
Chris Georges: I’m here with Johnny King, #4 Blue Jays prospect and first-year pitcher with the Vancouver Canadians. Johnny, thanks for the time.
Johnny King: Of course, anytime. I’m excited to do this.
CG: First year in Vancouver—at least for us it was a bit of a surprise to see you here at 19. How have you become acclimated in the first few weeks?
JK: Yeah, man, it’s been awesome with these older guys. Learning a lot. It’s a dream come true—completely. As far as can be from Florida, as far as from family, it feels surreal, but it’s awesome.
CG: You’re from Florida, born in Michigan, and now you’re on the other corner of the continent. Mountains all around you—is that a little weird in the first couple of weeks?
JK: Yeah, man, it feels almost like a movie. I’m sitting here right now and there are mountains behind the stadium, mountains everywhere
we drive. The drives are awesome, every one of them is interesting. It’s gorgeous here.
CG: You got the nod for the home opener—your first-ever start as a Canadian. You only lasted one inning, pitch count got up a little bit. What was it like pitching out in front of these fans for the first time?
JK: It was crazy. Me and a couple of guys came up here late—we came the first day of the Tri-City series—so everything moved pretty fast. The first thing I saw when I walked out onto the field was about 4,000 people, and it was just trying to take it all in at the same time. It was awesome though. A great experience. And obviously I’m starting to settle in a little bit now, getting used to things.
CG: First five starts have been all good for you—a 0.63 ERA across those five outings. What’s been working so far this season?
JK: Just attacking with my best stuff in the zone. It’s the same game no matter where I am—Single-A, High-A, Double-A, whatever. We’re
all playing the same thing, and I got here for a reason because of my stuff. So I’m going to keep doing that.
CG: You’ve been on a bit of a pitch count, going three or four innings across those five starts. Is that the plan, and do you have a target date where that might change and you might get extended a little bit?
JK: Next month I think we’re going to extend it to about four to five innings. But we’re taking it one inning at a time, taking this build-up pretty seriously because it’s my career. They’re just trying to keep me healthy and on a steady pace.
CG: Let’s go back to your youth. You were a two-way player in high school, and I saw some reports that you could have been a position player prospect in your own right. Was pitching always the plan, or did you ever consider being a Shohei Ohtani type?
JK: I definitely considered being a Shohei Ohtani. In high school I honestly hit more than I pitched. Pitching always came naturally—my dad and I always worked on it, soft tossing, stuff like that—but I was always in the cage too, hitting off the tee, trying to make my swing better. Then they asked if I wanted to swing a bat in pro ball and they were like, ‘Why don’t you go hit some golf balls?’ So I was like, all right, I’ll go hit some golf balls. That was the end of hitting—but I miss it for sure.
CG: You went in the third round and got a solid signing bonus. Did that sway you toward signing instead of going to college and potentially being a two-way guy?
JK: No, I think it was always going to be signing with a pro ball team. I thought I did what I needed to do in high school and put myself in a good position. That was the plan. And obviously God will take me where I need to be.
CG: Were you surprised to get the nod in Vancouver to start the year? You’re just 19— your birthday is at the end of July—and you
had a good single-A season last year, but this is High-A.
JK: No, man. I thought last year was good enough to be here. Just taking it one step at a time.
CG: You’ve got that mid-to-upper-90s heater, but you’re known for that curveball. Has that always been a plus pitch for you?
JK: Absolutely. Since I was nine or ten years old I’ve been throwing a curveball—same grip, same everything. Doesn’t matter if it’s a minor league ball or a tee ball; I was always throwing that.
CG: For starting pitchers, you need that third pitch. I’ve heard you’ve been developing a changeup in your first couple of years of pro ball. How has that been coming along this year?
JK: It’s been coming along well. I actually threw it a little more in my last outing— maybe 15 percent of the time. Got a couple of ground balls I needed. I’ve been using it for early leverage counts, but I’m definitely still developing it, and it’ll come as we go.
CG: A question I’ve asked a number of pitchers over the last couple of years: if you could steal one pitch from one of your teammates on the Canadians this year and add it to your arsenal, whose would it be?
JK: Holden Wilkerson’s slider.
CG: Holden Wilkerson’s slider. What makes it so nasty?
JK: It’s a ledger—it just misses barrels and misses bats all the time. Very consistent.
CG: You have the same trainer as Chris Sale, who also lives in Naples where you grew up. You got to work out with him over the offseason. What was that experience like?
JK: That was awesome, man. Seeing a guy who’s probably going to be a Hall of Famer, about a foot away from me talking like we are right now—it’s incredible. I’ve learned a lot from him about how to control the
game. He’s helped me mentally, physically— like not overworking myself, just staying myself out there. And he kept up with me during the season, congratulated me on a well-played year. I’ll be back with him next off-season. It’s exciting.
CG: Last couple of questions. You’re ranked number four on MLB.com’s prospect list. The last big prospect through here was Trey Savage, who went all the way up to the Blue Jays and pitched in the World Series. Does seeing a guy like that motivate you to move quickly through this system?
JK: I mean, yeah, of course. He’s someone I can definitely look up to—a great guy on and off the field. I’d love to do the same things he’s done. As I get older, hopefully I can be just like him.
CG: What’s the vibe in the clubhouse right now? I saw you playing some hacky sack yesterday. I know you’ve got the ping pong table out there. Is that how you stay loose on off days?
JK: Yeah, on off days I like to golf, play pickleball. I’m an active guy. When I’m not pitching it’s try to beat the guy—I run the ping pong table, I try to. And hacky sack is always a good game. But the clubhouse is good, man. We’re thriving. Trying to keep going, trying to ride this winning streak for sure.
CG: I do have some ping pong game myself, so I might need to challenge you at some point.
JK: Absolutely. I’ll take you on for sure.
CG: All right, Johnny, wrapping things up— thanks for your time here on Seas on Deck. Best of luck the rest of the year.
JK: Thank you. I appreciate it.

JOSE MAYORGA
17 MANAGER
After leading the C’s to a 75-win season in 2025 – the second-most regular season wins for the club this millennium – and a franchise-record 11-game winning streak, Jose Mayorga is back on the top step in the home dugout. Mayorga has been managing in the Blue Jays system since 2022. He spent two seasons at the helm for the FCL Blue Jays then managed Single-A Dunedin to a 69-61 record in 2024, the club’s best mark since 2019. The Pueblo Nuevo, Panama native was also the bench coach for the C’s in 2018. Mayorga brings a championship pedigree to Vancouver, leading the Federales de Chiriqui to back-to-back Panamanian Professional Baseball League titles in 202223 and 2023-24. The latter squad went 5-1 in the 2024 Caribbean Series and placed third in the tournament. Mayorga returned to Los Federales this offseason and will be the head man for Panama at this year’s World Baseball Classic. As a player, Mayorga was a catcher in the Philadelphia Phillies system from 2010 to 2015.
MATT VON ROEMER
BENCH COACH
15
von Roemer is back as Mayorga’s right-hand man, continuing his impressive rise as a professional coach since joining the Blue Jays as an intern in 2019. Among many team highlights in 2025, he celebrated his first win as a pro manager when he filled in during Mayorga’s paternity leave. He has rapidly ascended the organizational ranks, first as Technology Operations Coordinator then as Double-A New Hampshire’s development coach in 2023 before making his bench coach debut on Mayorga’s staff with Single-A Dunedin last year. The Kendall Park, NJ native played collegiately at Kenyon College from 2015 to 2018, slashing .366/.416/.503 with a .919 OPS in 147 games played across four seasons with the Lords (now known as the Owls).
ERIC YARDLEY
29 PITCHING COACH
Eric Yardley returns to the same role he thrived in last year, shepherding the likes of ranked Blue Jays prospects Trey Yesavage, Gage Stanifer and Fernando Perez as part of one of the Northwest League’s best pitching staffs. A native of Richland, WA, the former right-handed reliever posted a career ERA of 3.52 in 53.2 innings of work across 51 MLB games. Yardley also logged Triple-A innings with the Cubs and Blue Jays in 2022. He joined the coaching ranks last season and served as Double-A New Hampshire’s bullpen coach.
JONATHAN DAVIS
HITTING COACH
11
Jonathan Davis, Hitting Coach – Former big leaguer Jonathan Davis will work with the hitters this season after joining the C’s staff in the same role in the second half last year. Originally drafted by Toronto in the 15th round of the 2013 draft out of Central Arkansas, Davis stopped in Vancouver in 2014 then continued up the ladder until he made his MLB debut on September 5, 2018. He appeared in 102 games across four seasons with the Blue Jays then was picked up by the Yankees, where he wrapped up the 2021 campaign. He signed with Milwaukee in 2022 then spent his final big league season with Miami in 2023. After retiring as a player, he joined Single-A Dunedin’s coaching staff in 2024.

BOBBLEHEAD ADDISON BARGER
A LEGEND REMEMBERS: JIM ROBSON’S FINAL INTERVIEW
Last autumn, legendary sportscaster Jim Robson settled into a chair at the Sekeres & Price studio and did what he had done his entire life — he talked baseball.
The occasion was a wide-ranging sit-down interview with the Vancouver Canadians, recorded as part of the club’s 75th anniversary celebrations. It would prove to be his final interview. Robson passed away on February 9, 2026, at the age of 91, leaving behind a broadcasting legacy that stretches across more than seven decades of Vancouver sports history. Over the coming weeks, the C’s will be sharing excerpts from that remarkable conversation — a fitting tribute to a man who gave this city so much of his voice.
Born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, on January 17, 1935, James Alexander Robson found his way to a microphone at just 17 years old, joining CJAV radio in Port Alberni to cover senior men’s basketball. By 1956, he had made his way to Vancouver and CKWX, where he called games for the BC Lions, the Vancouver Mounties of the Pacific Coast Baseball League — predecessors to the modern-day Canadians — and the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks. When Vancouver was granted an NHL expansion franchise in 1970, Robson moved to CKNW and never looked back. For nearly three decades, his voice was the soundtrack of Canucks hockey: two Stanley Cup Final runs in 1982 and 1994, four Finals on Hockey Night in Canada, five NHL All-Star Games, and more than 2,000 NHL games called without ever missing a broadcast due to illness. The Hockey Hall of Fame honoured him with the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award in 1992. He was inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame in 1998, the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2000, and the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2002. He was appointed to the Order of British Columbia in 2011. The broadcast gondola at Rogers Arena bears his name.
But before the Canucks, before Hockey Night in Canada, before the Hall of Fame — there was baseball. In this first excerpt from his final interview, Robson takes us back to where it all began: a press pass, a borrowed afternoon at Capilano Stadium, and a chance encounter with a pioneering player that became his first-ever byline.
Part Two: Memories Of Two Vancouver Ballparks
I can always remember going to my first game at the previous Vancouver ballpark at 5th and Hemlock where there's an entrance to the Granville Street Bridge now. It's hard to believe there was a baseball park there. But I was 12 years old then, and on the way home in the streetcar over from my sister's place in North Van, I got sick on the streetcar, threw up and the people said “Oh, too much pop and ice cream.”
I didn't have any pop or ice cream, because I didn't have any money! But I did see a 12-inning ball game between the Bremerton Blue Jackets and the Vancouver Capitanos, who won the pennant in 1947 when it was a Class B league, the Western International League.
But as far as Capilano Stadium goes, in 1951 there was no roof on the grandstand. The dimensions were 335 down both lines and 415 to dead center. The bleachers from back of first base and third base were wooden benches, like grandstand type, right to the corner. So, the capacity was 9,200. And it was sold out quite often, but not so much the first year in the Pacific Coast League. There was no baseball in Vancouver in 1954. The Capilanos folded after the 1954 season, and in 1956, the Pacific Coast League franchise from Oakland was transferred to Vancouver, the first Canadian team in the Pacific Coast League. So, they had to put a roof on the grandstand and it's still there, the same roof. I hope it's still holding you up there! It's had a few updates over the years and the decades, not many, but enough to be sure. And of course, so many updates happening right now to take the ballpark into a new era.

HOW TO SCORE A BASEBALL GAME
Different fans have different methods of keeping a scorecard, and many use their own notations. But here's a simple method: For example, If the hitter grounds out to shortstop, for example, write in "6-3," which shows the shortstop threw him out at first base. If the hitter flies out to left field, write a "7."
If the batter gets a hit, write in the hit according to which base he reached. Each corner of the box represents a base, with the lowerright corner being first.
If he singles, put a "-" in the lower right. If he doubles, write a "=" in the upper right, and so on. For a walk, use "BB" in the lower right. As the runner advances, mark the appropriate symbol in the appropriate corner.
If a runner scores, put a circle at the bottom of the box, and inside the

circle put the symbol of the play and/or the player that drove him in. For example, if the No. 5 hitter drives in two runs with a single, mark his single in the bottom right of his box and mark a circle with the number "5" in the boxes of the runners who score (Some people like to use uniform numbers here, so you can tell who did what, even after lineup changes).
At the end of each inning, total the hits and runs for that inning only. At the end of the game you'll be able to add the innings total to get the game score.
