Brett Russell Lawrie (born January 18, 1990) is a Canadian professional baseball second baseman and third baseman who is a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Toronto Blue Jays, Oakland Athletics, and the Chicago White Sox.
While playing high school baseball for the Langley Blaze of the British Columbia Premier Baseball League, Lawrie was selected with the 16th overall pick in the 2008 Major League Baseball draft by the Milwaukee Brewers. The selection of Lawrie was the fourth-highest a Canadian player has ever been drafted, behind only Jeff Francis, Adam Loewen, and Phillippe Aumont, as the highest a Canadian position player has ever been drafted.
Lawrie was a member of the Canadian Junior National Team at the 2008 World Junior Baseball Championship where he led the tournament with a .469 batting average, three home runs and 16 runs batted in (RBIs). He was also selected to play for Canada at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Lawrie represented Canada once again during the 2009 World Baseball Classic at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. His only appearance during Canada's brief run in the tournament came during a 6–5 loss to the United States where he pinch-ran for Joey Votto in the ninth inning.
