Shaw III

Physical: Athletic, projectable 6-foot-3, 207lb frame with consistent strength found. 7.31 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, prototypical stance with a loose feel in the approach, as the hands operated calmly by the head. Utilized a leg-lift, grabbing the ground with stretch before initiating through a leveraged, slightly uphill path into the zone. Showcased a good, efficient swing at the plate en route to a 42% fly ball, 33% line drive split (via Trackman) with ability to lift the baseball at will. Created backspin towards a high finish producing a near 370 foot batted ball distance at his peak (home run juice to dead pull, easy doubles power). Bat-speed plays at a high level and transferred into a T98 mph bat-exit velocity with room for more. True middle of the order presence and ability to ascend into one of the better uncommitted power bats in the class.

 Defensively: Natural feel for lateral movements, staying down to the ground at a wider base and letting the glove hand play inside/outside of the body. Funneled accurately, using momentum to release with a quick glove tap and H ¾ slot (lengthy, 86 mph arm, carry). 

 Pitching: RHP - The righty started off the middle of the rubber using a stretch-only look with good balance on his way down the slope. Higher leg lift and kept tempo into footstrike, releasing with some downhill tilt out of a whippy H ¾ slot. The FB entered the zone at 83-85 mph, holding strikes at a >50% clip. Mixed in a lateral 71-74 mph SL, falling off a little extra to the first base side while seeing T7 inches of HM. Countered using a short-fading 77-80 mph CH that tunneled well out of the same FB slot.

Physical: Strong, athletic build at 6-foot-3, 205 lbs. 7.52 runner in the 60.

Offensively: Wide, balanced stance with some bend in the knees and the hands starting up over the back shoulder; toe tap stride as the hands load straight back; strong effort from the balanced lower half leading the quick swing into the zone with +bat speed through contact (16.6G's Rot Acc / 77 MPH peak bat speed per Blast motion); impressive round with hard line drives through the middle and pull side with a peak exit velo of 93 MPH and a average of 89 MPH per Trackman. 

Defensively: Active footwork on approach; fields the ball in front of a wide base with a soft glove and seamless transfer while continuing momentum through the throw; ability to throw from multiple arm angles and make the play on the run with relative ease. INF: 81 MPH

Power: 87 MPH raw exit velocity. Ball jumps off the barrel, stays up the middle.
Defense: Stays low when fielding, could charge the ball more aggressively, feet are a little slow, makes up for it with quick release.

Shaw has an average build at 6-foot-1 180 pounds; plenty of time for the 2022 grad to shape his frame into a more physical build. Offensively- Balanced setup with separation of the hands from the body during his load; slight to-tap at times with stride. Demonstrated the ability to use all fields with some developing pop. Defensively- Steady defender; makes the routine plays with no panic. Knows his runners and is accurate with his throws. Adequate 3B arm for now with plenty of time to increase arm strength. Pitching- Moderate leg lift; long arm action from a 3/4 to low 3/4 slot. FB plays up in the zone and he showed a lateral action breaking ball that is developing. Repeats delivery; solid foundation that will support velocity gains.

Proportional build at 6-foot-0 165 pounds. Ran personal best 8.00 60. Defensively- Showed improved arm from 3B; up right setup shuffles to glove side with more of a crossover approach to backhand. Short shuffle step into release with a low 3/4 arm action that features some sling. Will need to show additional arm strength to stay at 3B over the long term. Offensively- Even setup with a short up-down stride; stays behind the ball well and is aggressive with lower half. Short, compact stroke into the zone with extension post contact; showed some lift and developing power is on the way. Exit velocity continues to trend upward. Is on track to project in as corner infielder with power potential. 

6-foot-0,155-pounds. Projectable frame. Lean build. Offensively - Wide, balanced set up with feet square to pitcher. Uses quick toe tap to get weight back before starting swing.

Maintains body control while transitioning from fielding into throws. Low ¾ arm slot with loose arm action. Arm strength was 68 MPH.

5-foot-9 150 pound SS that hits from the right side. He ran a 8.31 60 and a 4.97 home-to-1B. Offensively- Even setup; quiet load and stride with some slight weight shift before contact. Hands lead into swing with lower half passive in the swing. Mostly opposite field contact. Lower half aggression will make a big difference. Exit velocity was 74 MPH. Defensively- Upright setup; shuffles laterally with hands out in front. Infield arm action from a low 3/4 slot. Arm strength peaked at 65 MPH.
