Tyler
Shaw

8/25/18 - 5-foot-9, 155-pounds, compact body type on average frame, well-proportioned and has the look of a middle infielder. Having seen Shaw a few times we again saw what makes him a good player, which is his feel and instincts for the game, along with a good internal clock and high level of skill. Other players have bigger tools but he can play. Defensively he has an advanced feel for the game. Quick release, sure hands, good angles and timing/tempo, excellent pre-pitch, can pick up and throw it across accurately. Very steady defender. Tools profile better at 2^nd base but can play shortstop in a pinch. Offensively he showed a balanced set-up with a small/minimal load, a bit mechanical in the box. Contact and line-drive oriented swing with a middle of the field approach, quite simple in a good way. Game approach showed that same approach, with a hard hit 4-3 and very hard hit line drive to the shortstop. Consistent and winning type player with ability to enhance/complement a good team with ability to play the game.

6/1/18-6/3/18 @ BAWS 2018 - Body type remains as described below. Narrow stance showing flat bat in load; quick hands showing control of the barrel and ability to get leverage and loft in swing to put ball into outfield gaps. Calm steady feet in infield with good pace and tempo to and through the ball. Gets rid of the ball from a variety of slots, quick exchange and sure handedness. Lacks burst out of the box while showing better athleticism underway; 4.72-4.9 Home-1^st. Good player with tools that my not pop off the page but his ability to play the game is clear.

10/28/17 - Compact 5-foot-8 150-pound infielder with baseball skill that plays, sure hands, quick release, closes on the ball well as an infielder, plays with really good pace and calm, offensively he also shows that calm and skill, moves the ball around, good timing, contact-oriented stroke and hopefully he gains some size/strength because when he does, he already has baseball skill that stands out.
