Wandy Ciprian and Noel McGarry Doyle are among the Canadian Baseball League's best.

League executives voted the two Baycats stars to the All-CBL first team along with nine other players from across the league.

It's the second time McGarry Doyle, the Baycats left fielder for most of 2026, has earned ALL-CBL honours after doing so in 2025.

His sixth season in the league saw him compliment his strong defensive play by leading the Baycats in batting average among qualified hitters at .373 along with a .947 OPS in 40 games. He hit three home runs and drove in 33 runs while stealing 26 bases, the second most in a single season in franchise history.

McGarry Doyle's teammate, rookie catcher Wandy Ciprian impressed in his first season of professional baseball, leading all qualified catchers with a .989 OPS and nine stolen bases.

In 43 games, the 21-year-old Dominican hit .347 with nine home runs and 32 RBI. He also picked up nine steals, the most among CBL catchers.

Meanwhile, left-handed pitcher Saul Vasquez was named to the All-CBL second team after his first season in the league.

Across 18 appearances (13 starts) and 80.2 innings, the 26-year-old Mexican pitched to a 6-3 record and a 4.91 ERA while ranking second in the CBL with 104 strikeouts.

It's the first time since 2022 that the Baycats had less than three players named across both All-CBL teams. That year, second baseman Owen Jansen was named to the second team as Barrie's only representative.

Former Baycats Malik Williams (Kitchener) and Christian Kuzemka (Brantford) were named to the first and second teams, respectively. Williams won the batting title with a .417 average and was named the league's most outstanding Canadian this week, while Kuzemka ended the season on a 13-game hit streak, including eight home runs, three doubles and 26 RBI over his last 10 games.
