Spotlight: Uncommitted 2021 Shawn Cameron

Maryland Top Prospect Games West

Body: 6’4’’, 195 pounds. Strong, physical, projectable frame.
Hit: LHH. Hits from a tall, open stance from the left side of the plate with weight slightly shifted on the back side. Short, smooth back load with a small leg kick. Creates good hand separation prior to launch. Stays behind the ball well with balance and creates quick bat speed through the zone. Uphill swing path with extension through contact, strong lower half involvement and two-handed finish. 
Power: 95 mph exit velocity per TrackMan during BP. Power present to both alleys with big time pop to the pull-side. 
Arm: LH. INF - 83 mph. Throws with shorter arm action from a mid to high three-quarter slot. 
Defense: Fields the ball out in front of the body from an athletic, solid base. Bounces off the bag at first with fundamental footwork and quick, clean exchanges to second on the double play feed. 
Run: 6.99 60-yard time.

Upright slightly open stance, small leg lift to stride, and lands on line. Hands load back in rhythm, vertical bat at separation, and some uphill tilt to the swing. Gap to gap power potential and swings with intent. Solid balance throughout and finishes the lower half with some aggression. Exit velocity was 87 mph. Defensively the feet were active on approach, glove presented out front, and had a clean exchange. Longer arm path and throws from a high three-quarter arm slot. 76 mph across the infield. Ran a 7.31 60. Cameron is a big strong body that has some pop from the left side and could be a factor in the middle of a lineup going forward. The big left hander worked primarily out of the stretch. Strong balance point, waist high leg lift, and a big stride down the mound with hips and shoulders elevated. Lands on line, gets over a firm front side, and finishes towards the plate. Short quick arm and throws from a three-quarter arm slot. Fastball was 76-77 mph, had some carry through the zone, and flashed some arm side run on occasion. The breaking ball had tight 1/7 shape with some late depth at 60-65 mph, but didn’t show a tremendous feel for the pitch. Changeup had arm speed and some swing and miss potential at 67-68 mph. This is going to be an arm to keep any eye on, as it was an easy low effort delivery and arm action with a big projectable frame. This would all indicate that there is more in the tank.
