Sebastien Boucher to be Honoured with Jersey Number Retirement by Quebec

Davide Disipio • April 19, 2024

Ottawa, ON - The Quebec Capitales have announced that Ottawa Titans assistant general manager Sebastien Boucher will have his number 18 retired by the club on August 18th at Stade Canac as part of their 25th anniversary season celebrations.


Boucher ranks second all-time for the Capitales in career batting average (.319), RBI (327), and triples (12), lists third in runs scored (361) and hits (564), fourth in home runs (46) and stolen bases (89), and fifth in doubles (89). He spent six seasons with the Capitales from 2009-2014, helping to lead the team to five Can-Am League championships.


"I'm filled with pride and honoured by this recognition," said Boucher. "My six years in Quebec City were special. It's unusual to win five consecutive championships, and this honour is the icing on the cake of my career with the Capitales. I can't wait to be at the stadium on August 18."


One of the most prolific hitters in the history of the now-defunct Can-Am League, Boucher is the all-time league leader in hits (981), runs (597), and RBI (545). Boucher returned home in 2015 to suit up for the Ottawa Champions, headlined by winning his sixth league title in 2016. After retiring from playing, Boucher was named the Champions’ second manager in franchise history for the 2019 season, succeeding the great Hal Lanier.


Hailing from Gatineau, Quebec, Boucher was a seventh-round choice of the Seattle Mariners in the 2004 draft out of Bethune-Cookman College (Daytona Beach, Florida) and spent four seasons in the Seattle and Baltimore organizations, reaching as high as triple-A. He also played for Canada at the 2006 World Baseball Classic.


Active in the region's baseball community, Boucher has held the Titans’ assistant GM position since the franchise's inception to the Frontier League in 2020. He also serves as the head coach at Polyvalente Nicolas-Gatineau's Sport-Études baseball program and co-owner of Gatineau's Académie de Baseball Ultime.

 

Boucher will join Eddie Lantigua and Karl Gélinas to have their numbers retired by the Quebec Capitales.
