The 2015 MLB Spring Training rosters have seen the likes of 4 Langley Blaze alumni contributing at the highest level. The group is lead by full time major league infielder Brett Lawrie (Blaze 2008) with the Oakland Athletics. This year marks Brett's 3rd MLB spring training and will be his first in the Cactus League with his new club. Next, the recently re-signed Jordan Lennerton (Blaze 2003) of the Detroit Tigers. Jordan who spent last season in AAA Toledo, is participating in his 4th spring training with the big club. Fresh faces for the Blaze are Brookswood graduate Wes Darvill (Blaze 2009), whohas competed in 7 games with the Chicago Cubs this spring and recent 3rd round pick of the Seattle Mariners, Tyler O'Neill (Blaze 2013). Tyler made headlines in his first ever pro debut, earning the attention of all by his highlight reel catch in the outfield

These alumni are leading the way for the many Blaze alumni which are participating in spring training camps throughout the Major League systems.
