Michael Crouse began his professional career in 2008.

Crouse was picked by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 16th round of the 2008 amateur draft. He was 2 for 15 with three walks and a triple that year for the GCL Blue Jays but he starred in the 2008 World Junior Championship. He joined Brett Lawrie as the only Canadians picked for the tournament All-Star team, selected with Yasiel Puig and Soo-bin Jung as the outfielders.

In 2009, Crouse hit only .218/.308/.340 for the GCL Blue Jays with 53 strikeouts in 188 AB, but he stole 25 bases in 30 tries. He was one swipe shy of leading the Gulf Coast League. The outfielder started 2010 much better, hitting over .300 after 36 games for the GCL Jays and the Lansing Lugnuts.
