The Ontario Blue Jays are excited to announce that OF David Calabrese (Maple, ON) has committed to further his academic and baseball career at the University of Arkansas (NCAA D1 - Fayetteville, AR) in 2021.  Calabrese joined the Ontario Blue Jays as a 13 year old and has been a big part of the program ever since.  David will continue his OBJ Career with the 18U Program that will look to defend their CPBL Title in 2020.

Calabrese has been apart of many strong Ontario Blue Jays teams along with attending events with Program 15/Future Stars Series including most recently at the International Week at Fenway Park where he hit an inside-the-park-home-run.  In addition, David has recently been named to the Canadian Junior National Team and will begin play with them this Spring. 

David joins a national powerhouse in the Arkansas Razorbacks who are always in the hunt to take home a National Championship in Omaha each year.  He will look to bring his game-changing speed, defence and hitting ability down to Fayetteville in 2021.

Calabrese is the first Ontario Blue Jays player to attend the University of Arkansas.
