Background 

Hailing from the West Coast, Tim Piasentin is one of the most anticipated Canadian prospects heading into the 2025 MLB draft. Originally from Coquitlam, British Columbia, Piasentin has made his mark in college prep baseball within both Canada and the United States.

Piasentin attends Foothills Composite in Alberta and has played for both the Coquitlam Reds and the mighty Okotoks Dawgs. The Dawgs and the Province of Alberta are notorious for developing professional baseball players in this era. The infielder also represented his country on the Junior National Team, creating a spotlight for himself against established pro players in the Dominican Summer League and in their extended spring training trips. 

He participated in the 2024 Canadian Futures Showcase hosted by the Toronto Blue Jays, where he finished with a .333 batting average, a .538 on-base percentage, and a .444 slugging percentage. Piasentin showed out well physically and went on to win the tournament’s home run derby, belting 22 home runs in four rounds. He was also participating in the MLB Draft League, where he batted .333 with a .867 OPS, showing his hitting tools. 

The infielder is ranked 160th top draft prospect by MLB, along with being 325th on Perfect Game’s top 500 list. The power-house is committed to the University of Miami, as he juggles draft possibilities.
