Another arm to climb up this board that’s still on the market: RHP Adam Shipley (Francis Howell, 2024). The 6-foot, 180-pound Shipley made the trip down to LakePoint as a member of Team Select, running his heater up to 90 mph while pitching in the upper-80s. He spun a 72-76 mph curveball with late break off an 11/5 plane that plays well off a high fastball, giving him a potential swing-and-miss offering at the next level. Pitching for one of Missouri’s premier high school programs, Shipley is poised for a promising spring on the mound.
