2023 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Austin Shields is a 2025 SS/RHP/2B with a 5-11 170 lb. frame from Sarasota, FL who attends Cardinal Mooney. Medium frame with long limbs, wiry strength and time to add overall physicality. Ran the 60-yard dash in 7.73 seconds. Primary position infielder, with solid footwork and first step quickness. Lets ball get to him, presents the glove softly out front and secures the ball. Quick midline transfer to 3/4 slot to throw, showing quick arm and accurate throws up to 76 mph across the diamond. Solid overall fundamentals. Right handed hitter, working from an even base and lift and replace leg lift trigger. Compact path with flat line drive type stroke. Repeating well and staying on the barrel with his gap to gap approach. As strength grows power will start to play much more but the hitters foundation is present. Very good student as well.
