Majors Sign First Baseman Trent Lenihan for 2026 CBL Season

The London Majors are pleased to announce the signing of first baseman Trent Lenihan for the upcoming 2026 Canadian Baseball League season.

Lenihan, 23, joins the Majors following an outstanding collegiate career at the University of British Columbia, where he established himself as one of the most productive hitters in program history. Over four seasons with the Thunderbirds, the White Rock, B.C. native posted a .338 career batting average, paired with a .407 on-base percentage and .565 slugging percentage. In 198 collegiate games, Lenihan totalled 33 home runs, 59 doubles, nine triples, and 185 RBI, showcasing a combination of power, consistency, and plate discipline.

The 6-foot-5, 215-pound right-handed hitter capped off his UBC career with an exceptional senior season in 2025. Lenihan hit .357 while driving in 62 runs and launching 15 home runs in just 56 games. He ranked second on the team in batting average, first in home runs and RBI, and tied for first in walks (28), anchoring the middle of the Thunderbirds’ lineup.

Following the collegiate season, Lenihan continued to impress in summer ball. He suited up for the Edmonton Riverhawks of the West Coast League, batting .320 with a .391 OBP and .491 slugging percentage, while splitting time between first and third base. In 2023, Lenihan played for the Okotoks Dawgs of the WCBL, where he hit .353 with a .969 OPS, contributing defensively at first base and both corner outfield positions.

“We’re extremely excited to welcome Trent to our team," said Majors Field Manager Roop Chanderdat. "He’s a guy who will add protection in the heart of our order, and thump with strong extra-base power and quickness. He’s another player who fits the identity of our team, and that’s his exceptional ability to work counts and put the bat on the ball. We see him as a very important piece to our team this season.”

With his proven track record at the collegiate and summer league levels, Lenihan adds a powerful and disciplined bat to the Majors lineup as the club looks ahead to an exciting 2026 campaign.
