10/26/25
Shepherd showed as one of the top all-around talents at the event, posting average to better tools in all facets. Built with twitch in a compact, athletic, 5-foot-9, 170-pound frame, Shepherd burned an event-best 6.88 60 to begin the day. The feet are well above-average for the profile and age, as is the defensive abilities he showed off. Shepherd reached 82 mph from the crouch, with all pops registering in the sub-2 range. His batting practice was taken in a mature fashion, staying on a line with a short stroke producing exits that peaked over 90 mph. The feet couple with well above average catch & throw, with enough to the bat to make him a strong follow in the class.

Shepherd is a compact, athletic 5-foot-9, 160-pound catcher with strong all-around tools. Offensively, he features a short, direct right-handed swing with occasional lift and standout contact skills, reaching a 312’ max distance and 86 mph top exit velocity. A 6.90 runner, Shepherd accelerates well (1.63 10-yard), adding athletic value behind the dish. He posted 1.95–2.00 pop times on a loose, athletic 76 mph arm with a fast transfer, and shows advanced receiving ability for his class.

Shepherd walked away as one of the biggest winners of the event, showcasing catch and throw prowess with a 79 mph arm from the crouch that translated to pops in the 1.9s. His 6.85 60-yard dash is a very solid time for the age and position, while his 5-foot-9, 150 pound frame still holds room for strength gains. Offensively, Shepherd showed a short, upward swing with quick hands and developing barrel strength.
