6-foot-3, 185-pound frame. Offense first uncommitted 2023 with corner infield profile. At the plate it is a wider square stance, small stride landing on line, and is really short to contact. Hands first type of swing with a level path and line drive tendency. In his second at bat he did a nice job staying on a two strike pitch, but it was tough luck as this barrelled up line drive was right at the centerfielder. Defensively I think the arm will need to get stronger to stay at third long term, but shows some athleticism coming forward well and did a nice job starting a double play to his glove side. Adjusted his slot, got it out clean and quick, and delivered a ball the second baseman could handle.

Strong 6-foot-3 frame with projection left. Shamus plays third and is a solid defender at third. Arm strength is average and if that continues to grow he has a chance to stay at third. At the plate the hands are set back and separated, direct path to contact, and did a nice job of staying inside a fastball in his final at bat driving a triple to right center. Has a chance to be a physical bat with middle of the order profile.
