Game Performance

Notes

Comments

2/15/25
2024 Super Sophomore Games alum Max Shepherd (Liberty North, MO) continues to solidify his status as one of the top two-way talents in Missouri’s 2027 class. The 6-foot-1, 165-pound right-hander put on a standout performance on the mound, showing significant gains across the board since our last look in the fall. Shepherd’s fastball topped at 89.2 mph, comfortably sitting in the 86-88 mph range. He also showcased a developing curveball (72-73 mph) and changeup (73-74 mph). With his projectable frame, there’s still plenty of room for added strength—and even more velocity—in his future. At the plate, Shepherd displayed a middle-of-the-field approach, barreling a ball at 91.4 mph at his peak. His ability to impact the game on both sides continues to reinforce his status as a prospect to watch.

RHP/OF Max Shepherd (Liberty North, 2027) is an athletic 5-foot-11, 180-pound freshman that looked the part on both sides of the ball at Saturday’s event. Still developing strength, Shepherd was 83-85 mph with his fastball, peaking at 86 mph with a loose, whippy, low ¾ arm slot while also mixing in a curveball/slider/changeup mix. Offensively, Shepherd swung a right-handed barrel that drove balls through the middle of the field while posting a 85 mph infield velocity to pair.
