Shaw is coming off the MLB combine last month at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona
The Major League Baseball draft, today through Tuesday in Seattle, will be of particular interest across Puget Sound and just across the border, with Victoria Eagles star Sam Shaw among the top 300 prospects.“I like being the utility guy and to use all my skills like Mookie Betts,” he told the Times Colonist.This guy has that in bunches and can play shortstop and outfield. He is also an offensive threat. Shaw is five-foot-10 and 180 pounds but can swing for the fences.
Shaw grew up in Fairfield, but attended Lambrick Park Secondary because of its baseball academy and is committed to Xavier University of NCAA Division 1. Shaw plays for the Eagles of the B.C. Premier Baseball League and was in Orlando, Florida, over the spring playing at the TNXL Academy for two months of development.
Baseball has been described as a cerebral game and Shaw is aware about developing both mind and body in his approach to the sport and is reading several books about meditation this summer. “It’s about self-improvement,” he said. “I’ve known all those guys since I was five years old,” Shaw said. “It was a difficult decision to leave hockey. But the decision to choose baseball came naturally to me.”
