Player Spotlight: Zachary Derksen
Wearing jersey #12, Zachary Derksen brings energy, work ethic, and a big bat to the Calgary Cubs 13U AAA team. An outfielder and first baseman, Zachary has been playing baseball for six years, steadily building his game and confidence on the diamond. What he loves most about being a Cub is the culture—fun, supportive coaches and a team full of players who work hard for each other.
One of Zachary’s most memorable accomplishments speaks volumes about his offensive impact: five triples in a single season. It’s a feat that highlights both his power and speed, and it’s no surprise his walk-up song, “Sunday Best” by Surfaces, matches his upbeat, confident approach at the plate. Off the field, Zachary keeps things simple with homemade burgers as his go-to meal and enjoys staying active with pickleball.
Inspired by Aaron Judge, Zachary has his sights set high, with dreams of playing professionally one day. With his positive attitude, strong skill set, and love for the game, Zachary Derksen is a player to watch as he continues his baseball journey with the Calgary Cubs.
