Shushkewich: After first pro campaign, Shaw sets new goals for offseason
“Heading into the 2024 season, Sam Shaw was excited for the opportunity that lay ahead.
Selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2023 MLB draft, Shaw had a cup of coffee in Rookie League ball in 2023 before gearing up for his first full professional season.
“I didn’t really know what to expect heading into the season,” said Shaw, speaking to the Canadian Baseball Network. “I had talked to some other guys around the clubhouse early into the offseason but I went into this past season looking to get a gauge of what was expected and I think the few games I got into during the 2023 season helped set the tone for what was lying ahead this year.”

The 17-year-old has had a whirlwind few weeks, travelling across the country and down to Central America before winding up in Dunedin – but this time it was different.
Gregg wasn’t here for pleasure or to play in front of scouts, a task he had done numerous times over the past year. He was here on business, as the Oakville, Ont., product was now a Toronto Blue Jays baseball player, a move that became official back in mid-July after signing a minor league contract following the MLB draft."
