Jean-Christophe Masson Reflects on Baseball Career After Promotion to A-Weak

A 26th-round pick in the 2019 draft, Masson was promoted to the A-weak last year after making his rookie debut in the Florida Complex League (FCL).

On his Instagram account, the 6-foot-3, 193-pound colossus said he was grateful to the organization that gave him his chance four years ago, a few months before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I arrived as a 17-year-old kid, bleached hair (let’s forget that part of the story!) out of nowhere. Here I am much more experienced, my head filled with beautiful memories. The incredible experiences I have had have taught me a ton of unforgettable things. »

Grateful to his family, coaches, teammates and friends, the outfielder says he doesn’t know what the future holds, but the former Canonniers de Québec “can’t wait to see what the next chapter [lui] will reserve”.

Jasmin Roy is “proud” of him

Although disappointed with the turn of the situation, the Quebec recruiter of the organization, Jasmin Roy, will be “always proud” of the career of his former protege, associated with his reign within the Toronto club. “JC can be proud of what he has accomplished, he said during an exchange with Le Soleil. He always had an impeccable work ethic and was well liked by everyone in the organization. He was a real pro. »

Roy predicts that Masson’s great adventure in baseball is far from over. “There is no one way to get to the majors and if he wants to continue playing, I think his talent will allow him to have more great experiences. Otherwise, I am convinced that he will be able to build on what he has accomplished in recent years to be successful and flourish in another field. »

In 38 games this season with the Dunedin Blue Jays, Jean-Christophe Masson had a 0.202 batting average and a 0.326 on-base average.
