Jack Shannon is joining the Saint John Alpines of the New Brunswick Senior Baseball League in Canada for the 2017 season. The 26-year-old left-handed pitcher/outfielder had an ERA of 1.94 with 111 strikeouts and 36 walks in 84 innings this past season in the German Baseball-Bundesliga, while batting 308. He also served as the team’s manager during game days. In 2015 Shannon suited up for the Therwil Flyers in the Swiss National League A.
