Casey Jackson grew up in rural Canada, just north of Vancouver, as a kid his favorite team was the Blue Jays, with his favorite player being Right fielder, Alex Rios. He wasn't the strongest kid, but he always found a way on base, his father taught him to have great plate discipline, unfortunately his father passed away when he was just 11. Casey was passed up on by most colleges, so he decided to try out as a walk on at Kennesaw State. He has a solid four years, with an average line of .296/.354/.416 but unfortunately wasn't enough to get drafted. So hes been bouncing around independent leagues for a couple years, still holding on to that major league dream.

Meet Lucas “LJ” Morales, a 19-year-old baseball prodigy from a small town in California. LJ’s journey to the baseball diamond wasn’t typical. Growing up, his family didn’t have much, and most of the kids around him played basketball or football. But LJ had a love for the game that couldn’t be matched—he spent countless hours watching old MLB games, learning every swing, every stance, and every pitch from legends like Ken Griffey Jr. and Derek Jeter. When he finally got his hands on an old glove at age nine, he practiced every day, throwing against the garage wall, turning any open space into his own field of dreams. LJ went on to be the standout on his high school team, leading the county in batting average and stolen bases, his explosive speed and sharp instincts earning him the nickname “The Ghost” because of how easily he could sneak onto base. He caught the eye of scouts, but his lack of formal training and small-town background worked against him. Still, he was determined to prove himself.After graduating, LJ took a year off to work odd jobs to support his family, but his baseball dreams never left him. He trained harder, sending highlight reels to independent and minor league teams, hoping for a shot. Then, he heard about the Alaska Polar Bears, an elite summer league team that offered a golden opportunity for young talent to showcase their skills in a rigorous environment. He knew this was his chance to get noticed. Now, LJ is in Alaska, facing competition unlike anything he’s ever seen, surrounded by players from big programs with pro-level coaches. Every day, he’s putting in hours to refine his swing, working on his fielding, and studying the game, eager to prove that he’s more than just a small-town kid with big dreams. It’s more than a game for LJit’s his shot to make a life for himself, to represent his family, and to chase down his dream of one day making it to the big leagues.

But the one thing Roberto could do was hit bombs having his farthest hit be 462ft when he was 17. Roberto showed his talent playing for the University of Washington. His stats showed .286/.296/.450 which amazed many scouts but because of his background many teams didn’t draft him.

Mine is the Bear King. He was a natural born Alaskan with his favorite player being Bobby Baseball as a kid. He started playing in a little league team as a literal kindergartener. He could blow the cover off the ball all throughout his life. He batted .312 in his first year of little league and all throughout his little league career. At a center fielder, he could hit bombs and rob them. In high school, he had to start using a wooden bat and still was batting over 300. He entered the mlb draft hoping to get drafted by the new expansion franchise, the polar bears.

Cody Chavo was raised in Southern California, he played soccer growing up since he’s mother side of the family is from El Salvador and it’s a tradition, his father left him as a kid after he fell into a gambling addiction betting that the Portland pickles would manage to win an extra innings game, this made Cody completely shift his mindset and wanted to be the best he could be, he made the JV squad at his high school and put up great numbers but when a starter on the varsity team went down he’s name was called, Cody has been an underdog is entire life and is not a huge guy at 5”10 180 but he has raw talent. He was heavily under recruited and decided to upload his highlights on YouTube which caught the eyes of the polar bears management and were willing to give him a shot.

[michaelcarter]

My name is Jake Carter: I am a 12 year old boy who plays baseball and has always loved the game. I have been watching you since middle 2022 and have always been refreshing Youtube every hour to see when your next upload would be. Although now with school that is exactly what I look forward to seeing after a long 6 hours. I have always had many dreams of being in the MLB and I think that this could inspire me to become someone like my player and think that it would be really cool to see my player progress throughout the Polar Bears journey. My player would be a 5'7 200 pound player out of Los Angeles, California with an average of 311 and and OPS of 940. I think that he would be an amazing second baseball with high 80's contact, but a high 50's power. I think that this would be an extremly good player with lots of potential and would love be in my favorite content creators videos. I think that Jake Carter could be a generational talent and would make me an extremely happy kid watching myself progress. hopefully you can take my offer into consideration and I could one day be on the Alaska Polar Bears

Coming out of one of the smallest towns in the country, Bangs wants to prove that he deserves a spot. And is ready for Alaska

Unfortunately, he didn’t make his high school team, every year, so he walked on in college, and worked his way to be a leader at surprise contributor to Missouri’s COLLEGE World Series run. good contact and above average arm, and surprising base running skills, but has below average power, and isn’t the best at blocking. But he’s open to move to right field. With an incredible work ethic, he’ll work harder than anyone. Critics are bashing the polar bears for drafting him, but he’ll prove them wrong
