Huron County may be known for hockey but a Goderich baseball player is breaking the mold.
Brock Dykxhoorn is about to enter his 3rd season playing for the Uni Lions in Taiwan of the Chinese Professional Baseball League.
myFM had the chance to talk with Brock over Zoom and he said the game is the same on the base level but with some slight differences.
The Uni Lions won the Taiwan Series during Brock’s first season which made him start to get more recognized.
The 27 year old deals with free agency basically every year due to the nature of the business in the CPBL but says that helps keep his options open.
The 6 foot 9 North American sticks out but he’s learned some basic mandarin to help talk to fans and his teammates.
Brock also has some advice to anyone looking up to him.
The Uni Lions begin their preseason this Sunday, with the regular season kicking off on April 2nd.
