North Shore Navigators News Release


LYNN, Mass. -- The Futures Collegiate Baseball League's North Shore Navigators and The SHOW Baseball Academy of Lawrence are proud to announce a unique partnership that will showcase top baseball talent from the North Shore and beyond.

As part of the partnership, three SHOW alumni become the first commitments to North Shore's roster for the 2018 summer. Central Catholic High School catcher Dominic Keegan and left-handed pitcher Steven Hajjar will join the Navs before beginning their respective collegiate careers at Vanderbilt and Michigan next fall. Right-handed pitcher Devin O'Donovan, a freshman at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee, rounds out the trio.

"We are excited to partner with SHOW Baseball," said Navigators General Manager Bill Terlecky. "They do a great job developing young local talent and we look forward to watching Steve, Dominic, and Devin compete as part of our organization in 2018."

Keegan, a Methuen native, was named a Perfect Game Underclass High Honorable Mention All-American last spring and will become the first Vanderbilt player on the Navigators since 2012. He will become the first-ever rising Vanderbilt freshman to join the team, continuing a trend that has been successful across the Futures League over the last several summers.

Perfect Game selected North Andover's Hajjar to its Underclass All-America Third Team and O'Donovan, who is from Somerville and attended Belmont Hill School, as an All-Northeast Region Honorable Mention player in 2017.

It was also announced on Wednesday that the SHOW's U18 Showcase team will now be known as The SHOW's Junior Navigators U18 team and the organizations will join together to host a U14 showcase tournament from July 6-8, 2018 and an Elite 8 Showcase from August 10-12, 2018 at Lynn's Fraser Field.

"This is an exciting partnership for the SHOW, creating more opportunities for our players to pursue their collegiate and professional aspirations," said Peter Delani, The SHOW's Director of Recruiting and College Admissions. "We'd like to thank Bill Terlecky and his entire organization for partnering with The SHOW to create a mutually beneficial, dynamic baseball relationship on the North Shore."

The Navigators will be announcing more additions to the roster in the coming weeks and months in preparation for the 2018 season.
