Felix Morin, a right‑handed pitcher from Quebec City, was selected as the 2025‑26 Canisius Male Athlete of the Year in a fan‑driven vote hosted on GoGriffs.com.
A Season Defined by Records
During his senior campaign Morin posted a career‑best 2.77 earned run average over 87.2 innings, striking out 71 batters while delivering six performances with at least six strikeouts.
The outing marked his sixth season with six or more strikeouts, underscoring his consistency on the mound.
He also became the sixth pitcher in Canisius history to reach the 200‑strikeout milestone, finishing his collegiate career ninth in total innings pitched with 256.2.
Beyond the numbers, Morin’s achievement adds to a recent streak of baseball players capturing the award, making him the fourth winner in the past five years.
Professional Transition
Following the accolade, Morin signed a professional contract with the Quebec Capitales of the Frontier League, joining a franchise that has embraced talent from his home province.
The move reflects both his regional roots and the growing pipeline of Canadian pitchers making an impact in North American independent baseball.
