2026 SIGNING TRACKER: Slugging INF/OF Zane Skansi

KITCHENER - The Kitchener Panthers are proud to announce the signing of utility defender and power bat Zane Skansi.

Skansi, an import out of the United States, is coming off a season with the Okotoks Dawgs of the Western Canadian Baseball League, where he was named the 2025 WCBL Rookie of the Year.

There, he posted a .363 batting average, 11 home runs, 22 stolen bases and 45 RBI.

Previously, he hit 13 home runs in 53 games with the Campbellsville Tigers (NCCAA) in his senior year of university.

"I am very excited to add Zane to our roster. He has hit everywhere he's played and is coming off a great senior college season and summer in the WCBL," said general manager Shanif Hirani. 

"He adds another impact bat to our lineup and offers a lot of defensive flexibility, being able to play both the infield and outfield."
