The Trinity League righthander out of Mater Dei made the trip up to Lancaster to take the rubber at FGT: Central California and made a strong impression. Utilizing a three pitch mix Shannon featured a FB in the 86.4 - 88.9 MPH range while showing spin rates above 2400 RPMs with a cut/ride shape from a 6'1" release height. He backed it up with an interesting SLD at 80.6 - 83.2 MPH that had a cutter like profile at times while peaking above 2700 RPMs on the pitch. Shannon showed off his Paul Skenes inspired SPLINKER that he threw in the 86-88.7 MPH range with heavy arm side life on the offering while getting quality vertical depth off his FB that he flashed control of in the zone. Shannon faced five hitters during the live at bats portion of the day effectively attacking the strike zone picking up three strikeouts, inducing a softer grounder to the right side while allowing just one hard hit ball. An intriguing overall profile with a high quality pitch mix and room to continue developing Shannon is a strong uncommitted 2026 name to know.
