Game Performance

Notes

Comments

2/04/24
Shoemaker swung one of the hottest bats on the day, putting up some loud swings during BP and followed it up with a pair of doubles in the scrimmage. Right-handed hitter with a quiet setup and looks the part in the box at 6-foot-2, 195-pounds. The power projects and he’s already able to hit the gaps with relative ease, as well as find the barrel in-game. Top exit velocity of 97.1mph and average of 89.2mph. Performed well defensively with a good glove and was 80mph across the diamond. Could end up at a corner position as he continues to fill out and add strength. Good start to the 2023 season for the uncommitted prospect out of Catalina Foothills.

Arm: RH. INF-78 mph.Short over the top action, came out of the hand well with accuracy to the bases.

Nate Shoemaker, Catalina Foothills (AZ), 2025
Positional Profile: SS/RHP Great build with high upside offensively. Will follow athletic development.
Body: 6-2, 182-pounds. Advanced size and strength for his age along with ability that we expect to take off with reps and refinement.
Hit: RHH. Sets up at the plate with a strong base that is slightly open, with a bend in the knees. He's got a clear inside path to the baseball, with a high rate of line drive contact. His max exit velo posted on Saturday was 94 mph, with a max distance of 335 feet. Handling balls best on the inner half of the plate. With more at bats and maturity, we expect Shoemaker to be able to handle the ball on the outer half with more success than was shown on this day.
Power: 93.6 max exit velocity, averaged 81.5 mph. 335’ max distance. High rate of line drive contact.
Arm: RH. INF - 75 mph. Arm strength will play from the left side, as his ball had good four seam carry with a 75 mph INF velo.
Defense: Showed a quick first step with solid glove work.
Run: 7.64 runner in the 60.

Nate Shoemaker, Catalina Foothills (AZ), 2025
Positional Profile: SS/RHP Great build with high upside offensively. Will follow athletic development.
Body: 6-2, 182-pounds. Advanced size and strength for his age along with ability that we expect to take off with reps and refinement.
Delivery: Throws from the left side of the rubber. Slow and controlled through his wind up with a slight pause at the top of his leg lift.
Arm Action: RH. Arm action is very short. Throws from a high 3/4 slot. Would see more life on his ball with more lower half involvement.
FB: T77.2, 74.1-76.4 mph. FB stays true, high IVB numbers. Command has room for improvement.  T2182, 2039 average rpm.
CB: 63.3-64.6 mph. Showed to be his best off speed option with downward breaking movement.  T1869, 1809 average rpm.
CH: 67.1-68.6 mph. Throws CH with good intent and arm speed. More of a straight change, plays 8-9 mph off the FB.  T1423, 1287 average rpm.
