A PROGRAM Built on Development AND OPPORTUNITY
The Ontario Blue Jays or more commonly "OBJ" enters it's 29th Season as what has undoubtedly become a National Brand amongst amateur baseball programs not only within Canada but across the World. Since 1996, OBJ has set the standard for youth baseball development in Canada. What started as a single team in the Hamilton, Ontario area has grown into one of the country's leaders in the industry. For nearly three decades, the Ontario Blue Jays have been paving the way for student-athletes from all over the province (and beyond) to develop their skills, grow and mature in their abilities before graduating the program moving onto a collegiate opportunity of their choosing.
Preparing Athletes for What Comes Next
Ontario Blue Jays players train in a professional environment designed to mirror the expectations of college and professional baseball. From daily skill development to strength and performance training, annual competition on the national stage to academic guidance, OBJ players are raised to be prepared for the next level. The opportunities provided are second-to-none in Canada, players graduate the program with experiences they will carry with them through not only their playing career but also their life.
A Proven Pipeline to College Baseball
No program in Canada has placed more players into college baseball than the Ontario Blue Jays.
Our alumni have earned opportunities at every level from NCAA Division I, II, III, to NAIA and top junior-college programs across the country. The OBJ name is recognized and respected by coaches nationwide and each year our players continue to raise the bar.
A Culture That Builds Champions
While baseball is at the heart of what we do, the OBJ experience is about more than the game. It is about accountability, growth, discipline and resilience. Our athletes learn how to compete, how to lead and most importantly how to carry themselves as high-character young men on and off the field.
SUCCESS BY THE NUMBERS
These OBJ successes have not been stumbled upon or inherited. They have come from an unprecedented commitment to developing and helping raise great young men into exceptional baseball players and even better people in the community.
The Ontario Blue Jays continue to lead the industry across Canada in: College Placements (635+), MLB Draft Picks & Signings (125+), Canadian National Team Players (85+) and Major League Players (11).
