By Dennis Healy
Massachusetts Scouting Director
Name: Shawn Boston
Position: SS/2B
Grade: 2015
Height/Weight: 5-foot-7, 165 pounds
High School: Wilbraham & Monson Acadamy
Evaluation: 5-foot-7,165-pound solid and athletic build. Ran a 4.69 with ease and moved well during the event. Threw 74 mph across the diamond and showed some flare with his glove. The feet work well in the field, and his throwing is out of a low-¾ slot. The tempo and prep step approach were good. Swing was clean and loose out of even base set up. The hand set up is low and the hands are direct to the ball. Sprayed the ball around the cage and stayed behind the ball at contact. Tee exit velocity was 83 mph. Shawn had a solid workout and should be on many coaches radar.
