Calgary Native Ryder Hancock joins Majors

The London Majors are pleased to announce the signing of outfielder Ryder Hancock for the 2026 season. Hancock joins the Majors following a strong collegiate career at the University of Mount Olive.

Hancock recently completed his senior season at Mount Olive, where he batted .309 with a .427 on-base percentage and an .846 OPS over 43 games. The left-handed hitter recorded 13 doubles, 21 RBI, and struck out just nine times all season, showcasing the elite bat-to-ball skills that have defined his career.

Prior to joining Mount Olive, Hancock spent two seasons at Chandler-Gilbert Community College from 2023-24. Across 180 collegiate games, the Calgary, Alberta product posted a lifetime .312 batting average with a .404 on-base percentage while striking out only 59 times.

Known for his speed and versatility, Hancock brings the ability to play all three outfield positions while impacting the game offensively and defensively.

“We’re excited to add a speedy outfielder to our lineup for the 2026 season with great bat-to-ball skills,” said Roop Chanderdat. “Hancock has made a career of not striking out and playing good defence. He can play all three outfield positions and really plays the game with heart and grit. He’s a perfect fit for our team, and we’re excited to see him in our professional environment.”

Hancock is expected to add another dynamic element to the Majors roster as the club prepares for the 2026 campaign.
