<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Very Proud of 2021 TNXL C Nicolas Deschamps on signing with the Toronto Blue Jays. Nic was TNXLs Captain and a leader for all to watch. Was a true joy getting to coach him and now he gets to live his dream! Congrats Nic! <a href="https://twitter.com/TNXLAcademy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TNXLAcademy</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NicolasDescha17?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NicolasDescha17</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/naaconference?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@naaconference</a> <a href="https://t.co/QJzznTdumj">pic.twitter.com/QJzznTdumj</a></p>

<p>Behind the plate, Deschamps has posted a .987 fielding percentage with five passed balls in single-A this year. He also owns a 21% caught-stealing rate and 16 assists to go with improved play behind the plate. The Jays have also used Deschamps at first base sparingly, where he has handled himself to a clean sheet through the limited sample size of 12 innings.</p>
<p>Deschamps joins a catching group in Vancouver that includes Robert Brooks, Jommer Hernandez, Jackson Hornung, and the newly acquired Jacob Sharp, who was part of the return of the Yimi García trade from the Seattle Mariners. The Quebec product joins LHP Connor O&#8217;Halloran and OF Dasan Brown as players born North of the border who are currently suiting up for the Canadians.</p>
