Pros to Watch: Chris Davis (Navarro College), First Baseman, Baltimore Orioles

Southpaw James Paxton of the Seattle Mariners is another Kelowna alum making a major impact in the big leagues. Paxton has been fantastic for the Mariners in 2017. The first former Falcons player to emerge as a standout was 2015 MLB Home Run leader Chris Davis of the Orioles. Davis signed a 7-year $161M Free Agent contract in 2016 to stay with Baltimore.

Big Man on Campus: Jared Morton, Pitcher, UC Riverside

Kelowna veteran Jared Morton is again having a major impact as a member of UC Riverside’s pitching staff. The workhorse leads the team in appearances again this spring. Morton posted the lowest ERA and opponent batting average for UC Riverside in 2016. The righty, who pitched for the Falcons in both 2015 and 2016, earned honorable mention all-WCL honors last summer.


 

Elks Stadium:

The Falcons play their home games at historic Elks Stadium, one of the oldest parks in the WCL. Elks Stadium has seating capacity of 1,200, but often fans get the best vantage point from standing on against the fence down the first base line. One of the best family aspects of Elks Stadium is a large grass area in the right field corner that the Falcons’ youngest fans can run, play catch and visit with their friends as their parents sit and enjoy the game. Elks Stadium has also enjoyed some renovations in recent years including new lights, backstop and grandstand seating to allow for an even better fan experience

The unofficial mascot of the Kelowna Falcons each summer is a huge osprey that builds its nest at the top of a light pole at Elks Stadium. Every June when the Falcons report in preparation of the season, a new family has moved into the nest with its young just born. Throughout the summer fans are treated to the nightly feed when the mother shares her “catch of the day” from Okanagan Lake. Her giant wing span swoops down just above the players and back up to the nest seemingly showing her young how to fly. Some nights fans watch the young osprey stretch their wings for the first time.
