Matt Shaw Makes History: First Cubs Rookie 23 or Younger With Walk-Off Hit Since Kris Bryant in 2015

In a moment that sent Wrigley Field into a frenzy, Matt Shaw etched his name into the Chicago Cubs history books on [insert date of game here], delivering a clutch walk-off hit that lifted the Cubs to victory—and placed him alongside one of the franchise’s most iconic names.

At just 22 years old, Shaw became the first Cubs rookie age 23 or younger to record a walk-off hit since Kris Bryant in 2015. That’s elite company. Bryant, of course, went on to become National League Rookie of the Year and later, the 2016 NL MVP, helping break the Cubs’ 108-year World Series drought.

Shaw’s dramatic moment wasn’t just a footnote—it was a statement.

A Rising Star in the Making

Drafted by the Cubs in 2023 out of the University of Maryland, Shaw has rocketed through the minor league system thanks to his polished bat and mature approach at the plate. Scouts raved about his quick hands, compact swing, and defensive versatility, and so far, he’s lived up to the hype.

But walk-off heroics? That’s next level. That’s the stuff of legends.

A Flashback to 2015

Cubs fans have long memories, and many instantly recalled the day Kris Bryant delivered his own walk-off moment during his rookie campaign—an early glimpse at the superstar he was becoming. That 2015 team, filled with young talent, was on the cusp of something special.

Now, in 2025, Shaw’s walk-off hit feels like a flashback and a preview at the same time. A young Cub stepping up in the biggest moment? We’ve seen this movie before, and fans are hoping for the same box office success.

The Future Looks Bright

While it’s still early in Shaw’s MLB career, moments like these are confidence boosters—not just for the player, but for the entire organization. The Cubs are in the midst of a youth movement, and players like Shaw are at the center of that vision.

If Shaw continues to shine, his name may one day be mentioned in the same breath as Bryant, Rizzo, and Baez. For now, though, Cubs Nation is happy to enjoy the ride—and the walk-offs.

One swing. One roar from the Wrigley crowd. One place in Cubs history.

Matt Shaw has arrived.
