Shank comes to the Prep Baseball Report with 10 years of college coaching experience, including seven at the Division I level, seven of which as recruiting coordinator. Shank’s Division I experience includes stints at the University of Hartford, North Carolina Central University and Canisius College.

While at Hartford, Shank recruited left-hander Sean Newcomb, who went on to become the No. 15 overall pick in the 2014 MLB Draft by the Angels. In all, Shank reeled in two of the top three draft picks in addition to the most players signing a MLB contract in a two year span in Hartford baseball history. 

While at North Carolina Central, Shank helped lead the school to its three winningest seasons in program history at that time. Five of his players moved on to play professionally, two of which were drafted in the MLB amateur draft. In two years at Canisius college, the Griffins won 77 games and set a then school record in 2008 with 41 wins. 10 Griffs moved on to play professionally during his time frame. In his seven years at the Division I level he signed and/or coached 30 players who moved on to play professional baseball. 

Now Shank will bring his baseball experiences and connections to Maryland's prep baseball scene. Shank will work tirelessly to bring to you the most comprehensive high school baseball information Virginia has ever seen and provide coverage to all corners of the state. But he can’t do it alone.
