Introducing The Most Awesome Prospect We Have Ever Had.

The Blue Jays pitching prospect is not homeless,  as he assuredly has a home. It’s a mustard, 1978 Westfalia Volkswagen van, and for the 21-year-old, it affords all the adventure an off-season can offer.

Norris chronicles much of his travels on Twitter, where followers are given equal doses of his passion for baseball and wanderlust.

On the field, Norris, who debuted in the big leagues in September, is competing to crack Toronto’s starting five. But off of it, he’s that high-schooler who reads Kerouac and decides to uproot his life but actually goes through with it

The luxuries that the van nicknamed Shaggy  confer are non-traditional. But for someone who’s toiled in the minors since 2012, the spartan lifestyle seems to match the job description. Minor leaguers constantly shuffle from system to system. So why wouldn't he live through this awesome van. As a love of the outdoors runs his family, the left-handed pitcher from Johnson City, Tennessee spends his time camping in mountains and driving on the open road when he is not playing baseball

This season its been confirmed that Daniel will crack the 40 man roster after his stunning performance last September. Whether he starts in the bullpen or in the Starting 5 , Daniel Norris will be a nice down to earth pitcher who can stabilize the team.
