He was selected as 14th overall following finishing his studies at Henry County High School.
He had a stellar fielding season in 2012 which was the year he received the Fielding Bible Award and his first professional Gold Glove Award.
Heyward had a fast and quality start to the season. On April 6, he had his first multi-homer game as a Cub. On April 25, he hit a dramatic three-run home run late in the game to regain the lead in a 7-6 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Nineteen games in Heyward had five home runs (more than half as many as the previous complete season), a batting average of .339, and on-base plus slugging percentage of 1.020. His on-base percentage was third best in the National League. On May 8, Heyward hit a walk-off, solo home run against the Miami Marlins in the 11th inning, giving the Cubs a 3-2 win. This was Heyward’s third walk-off hit as a Cub (second home run), also snapping a 1-for-20 slump in the process.
Heyward’s second MLB season commenced in a fashion that reprised the high expectations from his rookie season, but injuries ultimately factored into a lengthy and dramatic slump. In the spring, he was diagnosed with a degenerative condition in his lower back. Like his first MLB at-bat, he began with a home run in his first at-bat of the season on March 31, off Nationals pitcher Liván Hernández. He became just the second player, after Kazuo Matsui, to homer in his first major league at-bat on opening day, and do the same the following year. Since being drafted in 2007, it was also the third time Heyward homered in his first game of the season.
At age 17, Heyward started his professional career in Minor League Baseball in the Braves’ system. He played for both the Gulf Coast League Braves and the Danville Braves of the Appalachian League in 2007. He homered in his first professional game. In 12 minor league contests in 2007, he batted .302 with one home run and six runs batted in. He split the next season with Class-A Rome of the South Atlantic League (SAL) and Advanced-A Myrtle Beach of the Carolina League.
