Scouting Report
11-20-18
Derek Shaver (Grand Junction; Wichita State) lands back in the top 10 checking in at No. 4. After an ACL injury sidelined Shaver in 2019, Shaver worked hard to get back into baseball shape and had a successful summer and fall circuit. His increased size and strength was evident. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound, physically-advanced, athletically built, right-handed hitter, could arguably have the best bat in the class. On the mound, Shaver can also run his fastball up 87-88 mph.
5-13-17
6-foot-3, 178-pound right hand hitting MIF/RHP. Shaver went 1-3 at the plate, he is a good looking prospect with power to all fields. Playing second base this game, he turned two double plays using quick hands and a strong arm on the exchange. He is athletic and covers good ground in the field ranging into the hole twice to take away sure base hits.
8-30-16
6-foot-3, 178 pounds. Bats and throws right. Has a balanced athletic stance with gap to gap power. Swing is level through the zone with good lower rotation. Big shortstop with good range. Lower 80's arm across the diamond. On the mound is athletic, throws from over the top arm slot. Fastball sits lower 80's.
