Shannon

Shannon has shown the ability to be a legit two-way prospect at the next level. On more than one occasion, he has sat 92-94 with heavy sink and mixed in a mid-70s breaking ball with sweeping action. At the plate, the big, physical right-handed hitter shows quickness in his swing with gap-to-gap power. He will likely need to shorten up at the next level. Defensively, his feet likely limit him to first base at the next level.

Shannon is a big, physical prospect. He shows the potential to be a two-way player at the next level. In the field, he shows athleticism, but likely projects as a first baseman or corner outfielder at the next level. His velocity from the outfield was 88 mph, and his velocity across the infield was 83 mph. At the plate, the right-handed hitter starts with an open, athletic stance. He uses an explosive lower half, quick bat speed, and slight uphill bat path to generate gap-to-gap power. He registered a 7.45 60-yard dash on a slow track. On the mound, the right-hander uses a max effort delivery. At times, his mechanics are disrupted by balance issues. He shows a heavy and sometimes erratic 84-86 mph fastball from a high 3/4 arm slot. His curveball sits at 70-72 mph and shows a sharp 11/5 break. His changeup shows some run, but he cannot locate it consistently in the zone. It sits at 71-72 mph.
