Two North Shore youth have been selected to join the roster for Baseball Canada’s Junior National Team spring training camp in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Jack DeCooman, 17, from North Vancouver, and Sam Shoemaker, 18, from West Vancouver, are two of 29 players from across the country selected by Baseball Canada for the training camp that will run from March 24 to April 2 at St. Petersburg’s Walter Fuller Complex.
The Baseball Canada team will square off against other squads consisting of minor league prospects for Major League Baseball teams, such as the Toronto Blue Jays. They will also be holding intensive daily practices at the complex.
DeCooman and Shoemaker both play for the North Shore Twins senior team, a top baseball program for youth ages 16 to 18 years old.
