Physical Description: Tall,
strong, muscular build. Filled out frame throughout.
Hit: Good plate discipline and advanced
approach. Sweet spot for pitches down and in due to upward swing
path. Average bat speed, struggles against high velocity
fastballs. Needs improvement covering outer third. Can be long
with his swing, but stays back to hit inside of the ball.
Middle-to-opposite field approach. Future average hit tool.
Power: Strength for power, shows loft in
swing and ability to drive the bal with back spin. At his best
focusing middle-opposite field, but will get out in front and
run into a pitch every now and then. Average-to-better power
potential.
Arm: Can make the throws to
all bases. Average-to-better arm strength.
Field:
Lower half quickness and lateral movements have improved as he's
progressed up the ladder. Solid instincts and footwork.
Surprsing range for someone his size. Soft hands. Big target at
first. Solid-average defensive profile at both first base and
third base. Can play second base in a pinch.
Run: Below-average runner.
Not part of his game.

Career Notes: Father, Jeff
Shaw, played 12 years in the big leagues as a relief pitcher.
Played third base in college, had limited experience playing
first base prior to signing. Was also drafted by the Red Sox out
of high school. Traded to Milwaukee in Tyler Thornburg deal in
2016. Had a dominant stretch with Milwaukee in 2017-2018 but
came back down to earth in 2019. Returned to Boston organization
in 2021 after being claimed off waivers from Milwaukee.
Re-signed a minor league deal after becoming a free agent and
made the Red Sox Opening Day roster.
Summation: Potential second
dvision regular. Lacks the raw power desired from a first
division corner infielder, but versitality and greatly improved
defense at third base make him a valuable player especially in a
platoon or bench role. Excellent work ethic and makeup. Student
of the game.
