Okotoks Dawgs

The Okotoks Dawgs have signed Sam Roberts (RHP, Chandler-Gilbert CC), Dryden Howse (INF | RHP, Barton CC) and Titus Dumitru (OF, Linn-Benton CC) for the 2023 season.

Dryden Howse (Okotoks, Alta.) – INF | RHP, Barton Community College

Howse has picked up where he left off for the Cougars in 2023. The Dawgs Academy product is currently hitting .333 with three doubles, one triple, one home run and 13 RBIs in 12 games played. On the mound, Howse has made two appearances with two strikeouts in 1 1/3 innings pitched. Look for Howse to add versatility to a stacked Dawgs roster as he has the ability to play corner infield and pitch.

Sam Roberts – RHP, Chandler-Gilbert Community College

Roberts is off to a hot start in his second season with the ‘Yotes. The submarine pitcher owns a 0.87 ERA and has struck out 13 batters in 10 1/3 innings in 14 appearances. Look for him to make an impact from the back end of the bullpen for the Dawgs in 2023.

Titus Dumitru – OF, Linn-Benton Community College

Entering his second season playing for Dawgs assistant coach and Linn-Benton head coach, Andy Peterson, Dumitru brings true power to the Dawgs in 2023. Look for Titus to make an impact with his bat for the Dawgs in 2023.
