Last year’s first-round pick, Matt Shaw, hopes there is a chance he’ll get back to Wrigley Field soon.

ARLINGTON, Texas — After the Chicago Cubs made Maryland infielder Matt Shaw their first-round pick last July, he got a taste of what it was like to be a professional baseball player.

Now, with Double-A Tennessee, he’s getting a crash course. Success, he says, is all about being willing to make adjustments.

“There’s a lot of adjustments to be made,” he said before he took the field with the NL team in the MLB Futures Game at Globe Life Field. “The biggest one is obviously playing every day. But, you know, there are some things that I didn’t expect. Part of that is just getting comfortable with playing every day and being conscientious of the different adjustments you’re making.”

Shaw was one of three Cubs in Arlington for the Futures Game. James Triantos also played, while Moises Ballesteros participated in the inaugural Skills Challenge.

Shaw pinch-hit in the fifth inning for Cam Collier, who was the game’s MVP, as the NL won, 6-1. Shaw got two trips to the plate but was unable to record a hit. He struck out once.
