The Toronto Blue Jays organization held a national amateur baseball tournament at the Rogers Centre in September this weekend. Players come from all over the country to show off their talent to scouts from colleges in hopes of continuing their baseball careers into the post-secondary stage of their lives.

It's called Tournament 12 (T12) and carries the best 160 future baseball players in the country that have college eligibility.

Biggar's very own Garrett Hawkins stands at 6 feet and 5 inches, and can be a huge asset on the hill with his velocity. Hawkins also has great movement on some of his pitches which has allowed him to find success at the position.

Hawkins tried out for the Prairies team to enter the T12 and was granted one of the 20 positions on the team.

In the first game of the tournament, Hawkins got the chance to start against Team Atlantic. Hawkins pitched four total innings without giving up a single hit, and only walked a single batter. He also struck out 5 batters on the day and earned his team a victory to get the tournament started the right way. Team Prairies went on to win the game 3-2.

With tons of college scouts in the crowd, Hawkins couldn't have picked a better time to be on display. With 20 players on the roster trying to get in the game to impress the scouts, Hawkins was only needed on the mound for the four innings of work.

Later on day one,Team Prairies lost to Team Quebec 5-1 to sit at 1 win and 1 loss.

This tournament, you are guaranteed four total games that begin on Thursday and finish on Sunday, and will have specific practices or drills to run for scouts at some times.

On Friday, each team would get an hour to show off skills infront of scouts. The main point is to really get a closer look of how each player carries themselves in practice by judging their work ethic, and attitude towards practice. Hawkins left everything on the field during their time with the scouts, and would go on to get some rest for Saturday and Sunday's games.

Day 3 of the T12 Tournament had only one game on the schedule with a match-up against Future players spread out in the country. Age requirements to participate in the T12 runs from as young as 14-19 years of age, and the Futures team carries players that are believed to be the very best of the young generation spread across Canada.

The Futures team won both of their games on Thursday over Team Quebec 6-4 and Team Atlantic 6-1. They would go on to improve their record to three wins and zero losses with a win over Team Prairies.
